Abstract

 




 




Systematization and the necessity of doing it as one of the multiple steps of the process of the Islamic Revolution in order to achieve Islamic civilization, is not a project that can be fulfilled through a certain argument and documents in a specific course of time. Rather, it is a process that requires fundamental steps to be taken, and of course, in each step, an autonomous view must be expressed so that, in the end, systematization can be achieved as a result of taking these steps. Regardless of whether the Islamic system is foundational and requires systematization or whether the system is exploratory, in the process of systematization, the system should be defined at the stage of imaginary principles and its relationship with concepts such as model, organization and institution should be considered. Systematization based on principles must be considered and its components and pillars taken into account. The method of establishing or discovering the system must be acquired, the external model of the system created, and the appropriate resources considered. Naturally, while enumerating the characteristics of the ideal system, by determining some criteria, it should be evaluated, and by distinguishing between macro-systems, inter-systems and micro-systems, based on the Islamic system, intermediate and partial systems, and the relationship between them should also be taken into account and the means of realization as well as objectivity of the system should be considered. Of course, the political system under the category of jurisprudence of the political system will normally be organized and realized by making decision about these steps. This current study, through a methodology based on Muzaf philosophy, with a second-degree look at the issues of systematization, while believing in the possibility of Islamic systematization, will examine three processes for its realization.
