Analysis of the relationship between Sharia and Constitution from Thiqat al-Islam's Point of View

In the Qajar era, for the first time, interpretations and words entered the political and social literature of Iran, which on the one hand was a sign of our familiarity with the West and on the other hand caused a change in the interpretations and concepts of the past. The use of these interpretations and combinations by influential intellectuals and clerics in the constitution was more apparent. The most important word and interpretation of this period or an intellectual challenge was the relationship between "Sharia" and "law" which was transmitted to the society by the intellectuals and thinkers in their writings and newspapers of that period. The clergies also used these new concepts in their thoughts. By studying the works and books of Thiqat al-Islam Tabrizi about the principles of his belief, new ideas and modern thoughts, the relationship between the status of Sharia and law has been examined. In his opinion, this concept of law is not in contradiction with the basic foundations of Shari'a and religious principles, and in fact, it is in line with it and approved by the principles of religion. The methodology of this research is analytical-explanatory.
