Comparative Study on Wisdom in Islamic Shariah and Iranian Law

The main question in this study is whether the acts and deeds of a human being are of value in itself, and can be described as good and bad by itself, despite the fact whether the shariah has any comments on it. Or the human actions are neither good nor bad, and being good or bad of an action depends on the shariah comments. Is there any agreement between the rules defined by wisdom and those defined by shariah? In brief, it can be said that as the wisdom can understands and defines if an action is being good or bad, the same it can understand that this action is defined correspondingly by the shariah and the legislator (Allah). It is because of this that the disagreement between the wisdom and the shariah is acceptable, then the mistake should be referred to the legislator (Allah) or the wisdom, which both of the statements are impossible and unacceptable. In this paper the agreement between the defined rules by wisdom (common sense) and shariah is demonstrated; and then many examples of this rule in the law were presented. In conclusion, this rule not only is applicable in the theological and ethical issues, but in law as well.
