INVESTIGATING THE TASK IN THE PRESENCE OF GUARDIANSHIP WITH EMPHASIS ON IMAM MOHAMMAD GHAZZALI'S WORKS


Mehdi SHARIFIAN, Shahla ALAYH POUR
Abstract

The Shari'ah is the most objective part of the religion and the condition for attaining the truth that is presented in all the hierarchies of each Sufi methods and each one of the methods of mysticism has presented a different interpretation of it. The "Shari'ah, the Law and the Truth" theory, which represents the maximalist approach of the Islamic religion in contrast to the minimalist approach to Shariah, emphasizes the observance of Shari'a and the jurisprudential rules and does not allow abandonment of it. This article is a descriptive-analytic research report based on the works of Imam Mohammad al-Ghazzali, reflecting on the meaning of the word shari'ah in his claims about the extent to which divine parents adhere to religious duties and the causes of worship. The results show that challenging al-Ghazzali's misunderstanding of the Shari'a is an innovative view of religion, and he has been more successful than any other in the integration and approximation of Shari'a, truth and method. From his point of view, the shari'a encompasses all the doctrines of conduct, and at no step of it even the guardianship position, doesn’t have the right to interfere in the religious standards, so long as the shari'a is a criterion for the real recognition of his dignity‎‎‎.
