Abstract

Political legitimacy, which addresses the merits of a ruler and the reasons for the obedience of his subjects, has been a long discussed issue although its underlying bases have come into specific focus just recently. This issue dates back to the ancient Greece and Persia. In the Muslim world, however, it began with the establishment of an Islamic government by the prophet (pbuh) in the city of Medina. What makes it important in this case is the disagreement on the prophet’ s substitute followed by arguments on the factors of Political legitimacy. After the early caliphates, Sunni Muslims theorized the way that those rulers had come to power and postulated it as a principle of legitimacy in Islam. In other words, an epistemic system was thus defined in the field of Political legitimacy. This system was completely based on external factors and functions as well as collective opinions and conventions. The central tenet of the system was ‘ selection by agreement’ , which paved the way for the selection of the first caliph. This type of granting legitimacy is criticized in the present research conducted through a descriptive-analytic method. The position of Imams toward this selection approach is also investigated. As the results of the study show, Shia Imams considered legitimacy as an already established token bestowed upon a ruler by God. In other words, they rejected the idea of ‘ selection by agreement’ and, thus, took sides with Shia beliefs.
