The Relationship between Ultimateness, Khatamiyyat, and the Comprehensiveness and Establishment of a Religious Government in the View of Allameh Tabataba`i

Allameh Tabatabaichr('39')s view on the issue of Khatamiyyat is intra-religious and is considered to be due to the comprehensiveness of religious laws. A comprehensiveness that is in full accordance with human nature, intellect and knowledge, and is evaluated with regard to human needs, including those of resurrection and livelihood. The main issue of this article is to discover the connection between Khatamiyyat and the establishment of a religious government from the perspective of Allameh Tabatabai. The present study uses a descriptive-analytical method to find out how comprehensive Islamic laws work and how they are implemented in human life. The findings of the study show that he views the application of the comprehensive state of Islamic laws only in the shadow of the establishment of a religious government, with the execution of special powers to the Islamic governor on the one hand and granting the right of religious invitation to each individual to prevent deviation and degeneration on the other hand, as two main grounds for achieving perfection. Therefore, in his view, the secret of Khatamiyyat is the legislation of those comprehensive laws and such an execution simultaneously.
