The role of immaculacy in the political thoughts of Bu Ali Sina

Immaculacy is so important in the political thoughts of Sheikh or-Raees Bu Ali Sina that, when the prophet passes away and the revelation finishes, an immaculate Imam appointed by the prophet takes over leadership and people are asked to follow him as they followed the prophet. The prophet has accomplished law making, but guardianship of the affairs never comes to an end unless the resurrection starts and human society vanishes. Assuming that Islam is political, in this paper, we propose the question whether Islam's being political is intrinsic or transient, and finally, we proved that immaculacy has a particular importance in the political thoughts of the great Islamic philosopher, Bu Ali Sina.
