An Introduction to the Civilization Capacity Measuring of the Jurisprudential Verses of the Quran

Besides identifying the obligations of the responsible people, the jurisprudential verses of the Quran, as parts of the religious doctrine and as origins of the jurisprudence science, have social functions and consequences. These consequences directly or indirectly influence the different systems that make up a community and consequently influence a civilization. Based on the late Martyr Sadr’s classification of the jurisprudential issues into four main parts including worship, property, private practices and public etiquette with several sub-branches, this article has tried to examine the social and civilizational implications of the jurisprudential verses of the Quran based on three elected systems: the cultural system, the political system and the economical system. The findings of this research revealed that these verses contained a multitude of social and civilizational functions that could be called civilization capabilities.
