The Role of Ethics and Mysticism in the Islamic Political System مقاله

خلاصه ماشینی:

If we undertake the reconstruction of our damaged thoughts regarding each of ethics and politics and view them within the family of "practical wisdom," many questions and doubts will no longer arise for us, especially since individual and internal transcendence and evolution are inevitably intertwined with social transcendence and development, and man is not severed from society, and society is in need of the sovereignty of ethics and moral values, and If one of the important objectives of the mission of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) was the perfection and completion of virtuous characters and moral qualities, it actually formed the core and root of all social transformations and religious governmental systems in the administration of human society (5) meaning that "connection with God, through connection with society" is fully presented and achievable in the field of religious ethics; therefore, there must be an identification and combatting of the maladies in the religious thought of the Islamic society and the revival and reform of religious thought. (12) Thus, Professor Motahhari considers only religious ethics—derived from the text of the Book and Sunnah, Quranic verses, and the scientific and practical conduct (Sira) of the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny) and the Imams (peace be upon them)—to be a comprehensive, universal, dynamic, efficient ethics, compatible with the administration of society and politics, and contributing to the evolution of man in relation to himself, society, and God. For this reason, in defining ethics and its characteristics, he writes: "Ethics consists of a series of acquired traits, virtues, and dispositions that humans accept as moral principles; or in other words, a spiritual mold for man, within which the human soul is formed according to that mold, frame, design, and blueprint.
