Website of the Office of Grand Ayatullah Saanei :: MAN, RELIGION, AND POLITICS

MAN, RELIGION, AND POLITICS

Politics does not mean deceit, trickery and lies! Those, who make promises in order to gain power and after achieving their aims fail to carryout their promises, cannot be called politicians and Islam is against them.

The union of religion and politics does not mean that religion can be used as a tool for the advancement of political interests. Religion does not impose nor will it tolerate any kind of pressure or injury being brought to bear by the owners of power on the people. Politicians with religious beliefs can never standby and be witness to innocent people being subjected to persecution and torture. The union of religion and politics does not mean the holding of power by a special few, but that the support for laws and rules is given by those people’s belief in religion.

The main part of religious laws and rulings is in relation to people’s social relations with each other, and has been drawn up with respect to the administration of society. Therefore, in a religious society, it is meaningless to say that religion is separated from politics. But that which causes the lack of solidarity in such a union is that some, instead of using the methods of Islam, put their own deductions up for consideration and this is something that creates difficulties when it comes to the enforcement and execution of those laws.
