One of the important concerns of political thinkers in the modern era is to explain the relationship and limits of the influence of moral principles in the scene of political action and to persuade rulers to comply with these principles in political decisions. This research tries to discover and present solutions for the institutionalization of moral rules in international politics by analyzing the content of the Qur'anic verses and the traditions of the innocents. The findings of the research show that epistemic, emotional and behavioral solutions have been used in Islam to institutionalize moral values. Calling to monotheism, mission, monotheism, raising awareness among nations, encouraging rationality, avoiding eclecticism and avoiding suspicion are the most important methods of knowledge, love and compassion, gentleness and appropriate violence and human dignity are considered the most important emotional methods and moral behavior in Society, cultural and social behaviors and political, economic and military behaviors are among the behavioral solutions for institutionalizing moral values among Muslim and non-Muslim nations. The result of the article suggests that, from the point of view of Islam, in addition to the necessity of aligning political goals with ethics and moral values in international relations, the means of implementing political goals should also be valuable and moral.

One of the functions of an Islamic government is to institutionalize moral values in relations between Muslim and non-Muslim states and nations. Using a descriptive and analytical method, this research seeks to answer, a basic question in this regard: what are the epistemological solutions of the Islamic government in institutionalizing moral values in international relations? Strategies for institutionalizing ethical values in international relations are generally divided into practical (behavioral) and epistemological solutions. Epistemological solutions can be divided into attitudinal, tendentious and functional solutions. Towhid (Monotheism), Risalah, Imamate, and resurrection are among the most important epistemological-attitudinal solutions that play a fundamental role in institutionalizing ethics in international relations, and the religious government is obliged to work toward strengthening these beliefs. Increasing the knowledge and awareness of the people, promoting the culture of justice, endorsing religious teachings in the form of free acceptance, and seeking one’s rights are among the tendentious epistemological solutions, and confronting harmful ideas such as heresy, eclecticism, and skepticism are among the functional epistemological solutions of the Islamic government in institutionalizing ethics in international relations.
