The Essence and Concept of Institutionalization from the Viewpoint of the Quran

Institutionalization means deepening and consolidating believers, values and behaviors that are acceptable for the main brokers of the community administration at different levels of macro management (public administration) and micro management (organizations and institutions). For the realization and implementation of the "institutionalization", different patterns have been proposed, which are often based on Western foundations and assumptions. Considering the influence of the basics and assumptions on theories and patterns, one of the main tasks of the active researchers in the field of human-Islamic sciences is proposing patterns appropriate to Islamic foundations and assumptions. The first and most important step before proposing a pattern is identifying the concept and the nature of the proposition, to provide the ground for studying the how of this theory through the investigation of the what and definition of the concept. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to examine "the essence and concept of institutionalization from the viewpoint of the Quran", based on Islamic foundations and assumptions. The method of "contemplation in the Quran" (traditional-revelatory) has been used in this research. The research findings show that, institutionalization from the perspective of the Quran is a continuum-like process that can be positive (rising) or negative (decaying). Its promotion is for those who seek to establish faith, and confirm their faith but its decaying one is for those who seek to stabilize blasphemy.
