Abstract

The present paper is to explain the theory of "the supremacy of religion over politics "from Mahdi Bazargan's viewpoint. He blieves that religion is dominant over politics and that the main objective of religion is "the other world and God", political issues being secondary and related to this world. Thus, reason necessitates to treat this world according to the principle of montheism and the final target of religion. According to Bazargan's viewpoint, religion has general supremacy over politics and directs it but does not enter into its details.
