Abstract

This writing is to investigate the pathology of political power.  In a realistic view, religion considers authority as one of divine blessings, whereas like other blessings, it is constantly exposed to damage. The recognition of these damages in view of holy Quran and within the reflection of behaviors and words of good doer and wrongdoer authorities could be helpful for those who are concerned about the best application of authority, since this book is considered as the fundamental source of the political thought of Islam. The favorite power remains constant on condition that it considers the damages of undeserved power in order not to be deviated from the divine path. The hypothesis of the present writing states that, in view of holy Quran there is the possibility of authority being tangled with narcism and rigidity in the material grounds, as well as torturing of citizens, limitation of freedom, violation of con’s rights, uprising and disobedience in the pragmatic areas.
