This specialized field, which considers political behaviors at the micro (individual) and macro (social) levels based on the Shari'a, is in line with the political beliefs that are discussed in political discourse. Political jurisprudence, which uses the methodology of ijtihad in proportion to its jurisprudence, focuses on a special type of jurisprudential methodology appropriate to the understanding of political affairs, which, while using the text-oriented methodology, emphasizes the priority and centrality of the rational method.
