Abstract

This article is to find an answer to the what and how of
society with reference to the works of Ayatollah Motahhari.
In addition, other Moslem scholars' answers to the question
are presented and compared to those of Ayatollah
Motahhari and finally evaluated. The writer believes that
though Motahhari's reasoning for the existence of society is
problematic, his justification for the possibility of the
actualization of society is strong and plausible. In addition,
the reasons he quotes is only limited to Quranic verses.
