Conflict of Laws in Time in National and International Law in Noble Al-Mizan Commentary

One of the important, precise and relatively complex legal issues is “the conflict of laws in time” which occurs in national and international legal relations. Although it may supposed that dealing with this issue is one of the achievements of legal thought in recent centuries, the fact it that the issue is rooted in Islamic fiqh (jurisprudence) and its first and most important source, i.e. Glorious Quran, though not mentioned under this particular title.The present paper does not seek to provide a full legal and jurisprudential discussion about “the conflict of laws in time”; rather, it merely deals with the issue from the view of some relevant Quranic verses and on the basis and at the level of late Ayatollah Allamah Seyyed Mohammad Hussein Tabatabaii’s thoughts in noble Al-Mizan Commentary in order to show that this commentary work discusses the issue and its details much more than most merely jurisprudential and legal verses-related commentaries, although it is not a legal and jurisprudential commentary.
