اسلام و پژوهش‌های مدیریتی

Islam as the orthodox, has been a moderate and balanced religion (Sexed Razi, 16th kh) studiously avoids extremism in all areas, especially in the field of policy-making. There are three theories raised in this regard: the first theory states that policy-making is a centralized task that is only performed by God, and in accordance with the Book of Allah and the teachings of his prime Prophet. The second theory holds that policy-making is decentralized; human, using his intellect, can make policies on its own and in doing so does not need anyone, even God. The third theory argues that policy –making can be done both by God and man. The author believes that the first theory is radical; groups like the Kharijites and Ash'arites _ in the past _ and Takfiri groups, especially the Wahhabis and those who adhere to Sunnah minus rationality in the modern era, are rooted in this theory. The second theory is also considered extremist; the thoughts and opinions of groups like the Mu'tazilites - in the past - and the atheistic secular thoughts - in modern times -are rooted in the second theory. The third theory is considered as moderate and balanced and it is supported by ample evidence. In this paper, the "analytical and deductive" method is used. The aim of this paper is to clarify two ambiguities: First, with the existence of God, what role does human play in policy-making? Second, with human mind, what is God needed for?
