Analysis of the Fundamental Concepts of Martyr Sadr's Theory of Vicegerency and Its Impact on Quran-Based Humanities

Theorizing is not possible without achieving fundamental concepts. Therefore, clarifying fundamental concepts and defining their semantic boundaries is one of the most important scientific endeavors for theorizing. Martyr Sadr's theory of vicegerency is formulated based on two fundamental concepts: vicegerency (istikhlaf) and trusteeship (istiman). This theory has been neglected in two respects: first, regarding the sufficiency of the implications of these concepts and their attribution to the Quran; second, the impact of these concepts and the theory on Quran-based humanities. The present study aims to advance Martyr Sadr's scientific legacy by analyzing the theory of vicegerency from these two perspectives. The main hypothesis of the research is the realization of the scientific authority of the Quran for the humanities through the theory of vicegerency. Sub-hypotheses: ۱. Insufficiency of evidence for attributing the concept of trusteeship in Martyr Sadr's theory to the Holy Quran; ۲. Sufficiency of evidence for attributing the concept of vicegerency in the said theory to the Quran; ۳. The possibility of the theory of vicegerency impacting the humanities. The research analyzes the concepts using the method of semantic inquiry in the Holy Quran, which is called ijtihad in verbal evidence in Islamic tradition, but the impact of the theory on humanities falls under the processing of second-order knowledge, because it examines the theory and some areas of humanities from an external perspective. Therefore, it has a philosophical approach to the type of added philosophy. The article's approach in examining concepts and their attribution to the Quran is critical, and in explaining its impact on humanities, it is explanatory. The results are: ۱. Proving the insufficiency of evidence for attributing the concept of trusteeship in the theory to the Quran, ۲. Explaining the sufficiency of evidence for attributing the concept of vicegerency to the Quran, and ۳. Explaining the impact of the theory of vicegerency on several aspects of the humanities.
