Control of Power and Oversight in Islam with Emphasis on the Conduct and Sayings of Imam ʿAlī (A.S.) 1 14 10.61838/jhrlp.102 EN Journal Article 2025 06 13 <p>This study aims to identify Islamic values in this domain and to uncover the strategies offered by Islam regarding the control and oversight of power, drawing upon Islamic sources (the Qur’an and Sunnah) with particular emphasis on the conduct and sayings of Imam ʿAlī (A.S.). One of the fundamental duties of governance is the control and oversight of power. Islam, through presenting its distinctive worldview and perspective on this subject in governance, and by emphasizing authentic values rooted in human nature, exerts a profound influence on the substance of this process (i.e., the control and oversight of power). Moreover, considering the comprehensiveness of Islamic rulings in both theoretical and practical conduct, as well as the establishment of the Islamic government by the Prophet of Islam (P.B.U.H.) and the Commander of the Faithful (A.S.)—whose conduct reflects Islam and embodies its beliefs and values in the governance of society—Islam also provides a practical and applicable system at the procedural level that can serve as a guiding framework for humanity in managing societies.</p> https://jhrlp.com/index.php/jhrlp/article/download/102/169
