    Abstract

    It is very clear that the society will not be able to continue living without law and government. And if there is no Islamic government, social laws and Islamic principles will not be fully implemented. God orders people not to be under the rule of tyrants and tyrants and not to allow tyrants and tyrants to rule. One of the objective evidences and indisputable reasons for the strong link between religion and politics is that in most aspects of the lives of innocent imams, interference in politics can be seen. The important point to move the people constructively and the political participation of the people is to inform the people. People should consider consultation and participation as their religious duty.

    If people know that the result of their participation is to achieve the honor of Islam, their self-esteem and the honor of the country, they will definitely participate in political participation with love. Another important factor in promoting the political participation of the people is the government. The ruler and the government must act in such a way that they are accepted and popular by the people so that the people's satisfaction is achieved and the people are willing to participate politically with the government.

    What makes the people satisfied with the ruler and the government can be divided into several parts:

    A) The ruler must be elected by the people.

    B) The leader must be just.

    C) The leader must be brave.

    D) The leader should be tactful.

    E) The leader should be open to criticism from the people.

    M) The leader should give importance to the people's vote, not be self-opinionated and consultative.

    R) The leader should pay attention to moral values. (Enforcement of divine limits without any shortage or caste and the same for everyone, observing the correct criteria for removal and installation, how to deal with correct or destructive criticisms, etc.)

    g) To accept peace, the leader must consider the comfort of the warriors and the security of the country.

    f) The leader and the ruler should not spare any effort to achieve material and spiritual growth of the country and the people.

    l) The leader should share in the hardships of the people. Q) The leader should not be worldly. He has set an example.

    When the nation is loyal to the rights of the government and the government fulfills the rights of the people, everyone will be happy and the pillars of religion will be established. The worst people in the eyes of God is a tyrant leader who is himself misguided and the source of others' misguidance, who kills the accepted Sunnah and revives the abandoned heresy. The shedding of unjust blood weakens the foundations of government and uproots its foundation and transfers it to another.

    Key word: consultation, participation, justice, wisdom policy.

    Introduction

    What forms a part of human existence is his social life. Perhaps the biggest reason why God sent the prophets and made the imams to the high position of Imamate is the issue of people's social life. Now that the issue of society and social life is so important, each person should play an active role in their political and social destiny, so that the wheels of the social system turn well and progress towards growth and excellence. To cause intellectual growth and the growth of material and spiritual well-being of people.

    What causes more participation of people in the political affairs of society is the growth of people's awareness of their role in the administration of state affairs. Perhaps the reason why Imam Ali waited for 25 years with a bone in his throat and a thorn in his eye was his political participation without the knowledge of the people, in blindly following the private decisions of Saqifa.[1]

    The correct political participation of the people means interfering in the honor of the country, which means giving importance to the honors and material and spiritual progress of the society, which means trying to glorify Islam and the country. There was no discussion of people's political participation and the reasons for people's correct participation, so I decided to bring forward a discussion that would prevent future scandals.

    I examined this discussion under 2 general headings.

    1. The role of people's understanding and awareness in promoting political participation.

    2. The role of government in promoting people's participation. There is another one in this context.

    If the interpretation of the verse:

    ?And those who obey their Lord and establish the prayer, and their command is to consult between them and what they spend their livelihood;[2]

    And those who have responded [positively] to [the call of] their Lord and have established prayer, and their work is consultation among them, and they spend from what We have provided them with.?

    He should understand that before sharing, it is necessary to consult and choose the right path and make the right decision. If they know that the result of their political participation is the honor of Islam and the country, if they are justified that their involvement has a significant contribution to the continuation of the right and the rejection of falsehood, and if they believe that their opinions are respected and considered, they will definitely participate in this participation. People's opinions should be valued, if the government values ??this gem of a hadith by Imam Ali, who said: "But if it were not for the presence of al-Hadir and the rise of al-Hijjah with the presence of al-Nasser, and what God has done for the scholars, it is not for the oppressed, nor for the oppressors, for the tyranny of the oppressors, nor for the oppressors, for the end of the ropes, for the first ones, and for the first ones, and for the first ones.

    To the God who planted the seed and created the soul, if it were not for these pledgers, and the companions, the proof against me would not have been completed, and God had not commanded the scholars to stop the oppressor and rush to the aid of the hungry and oppressed. You saw that I don't consider your world as anything and I don't value the government." [3]

    In this pezuh, I first rooted the key words of politics, participation, consultation, wisdom, justice and government and tried to collect and examine all the verses that were related to these words in some way. Likewise, I checked the narrations on these topics until I reached some conclusions. Most of the narrations were from the precious words of Amir Mominan Ali.

    In the hope of moving in the straight path and God bless you

    Chapter one: the meaning of some key words in this article

    The meaning and concept of politics

    The word politics was not found in the Quran dictionary. After searching in other dictionaries, the following information was obtained.

    In the Dehkhoda dictionary, the following is stated about the word politics:

    "Politics: having a property pass. (Ghiyas al-Lawaq) (Anandraj). keep (ten). protection maintenance protection The order to drive the serfs. (Ghiyas al-Lawaq) (Anandraj). serfdom (Manthi Al-Arb). government May the world be recorded.[4] ) is the chairmanship. arbitration (Nazem al-Taba)"

    It is stated in the Mu'in culture:

    "Politics: (S) [A. Politics] 1 (Ms. m.) to rule. 2 (Ems.) Government. 3 arbitration. 4 Punishment."[5]

    Turihi, a famous lexicographer, writes in the Al-Bahrain Assembly dictionary:

    The word politics is derived from "sas" and "sous" and it means state management, reforming people's affairs, and managing the country based on laws, planning and measures, "Al-Siyaseh al-Qiyam Ali al-Shi' bama yasleha; Politics means action to organize something by means of things that will correct and organize it. Reforming people's affairs and managing the affairs of the country is serfdom and peoplehood. A politician is someone who is insightful, wise and experienced in political affairs and affairs of the state" [7]

     

    The meaning of justice

    It is stated in the Qur'an dictionary:

    Justice: equality. And what they have said, such as: example, ransom, anti-jur, all of them are examples of the first meaning, it is mentioned in Akrab: "adl flana: wazaneh-adl al-qazi adla: ansaf" the infinitive adl and the name of both are mentioned. Also, `adl and ``adwl'' mean desire and injustice.[8]  

    The word ``adl'' and ``adalat'' in the word means fairness, justice, judgment and righteousness, and perhaps the best meaning is the same concept that Ali × presented about it:

    "Al-adl is the setting of the affairs of the positions." And justice is the general principle: Justice puts things where they should [9]. And justice is a plan for the benefit of all"

    In fact, justice is giving rights to its owner or considering the natural entitlement of every person or object, and its opposite is cruelty, not considering the entitlement of people and things.

    The meaning of wisdom

    Work hard wisdom Someone who does the work based on discernment and expediency.
