TheBasics and Structure of the Religious Government from the Perspective of the Qur'an

Following the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, theocracy was introduced. In this research, using the descriptive-analytical method, and the ideas of Islam, the foundations and structure of the religious government are illustrated. In the definitions of government, law making, supervision and implementation are considered as government’s responsibilities. Government requires possession of the wealth of a land and possession of the lives, property and destiny of humans, and possession of anything requires its ownership. According to the Holy Qur'an, God is the creator and owner of the world and human ownership is a credit ownership, as humans do not even have real and absolute ownership over their lives and properties, and their possessions are subject to God's permission. Therefore, God is the ruler and the lawmaker who appoints the executive of the government, which eventually gains recognition by the people.Keywords: God, Government, Possession, Law
