Abstract
After the glorious victory of Islamic Revolution of Iran, the attention of thinkers was focused on the question of the legitimacy and acceptability of the Islamic government. The primary motivation behind discussions raised by some thinkers on this issue was to explain the real nature of religious government. Others sought to give an arbitrary picture of the Islamic government. Still others interpret legitimacy of the Islamic government as identical to its acceptability. However, some others think of the legitimacy of the Islamic government as something distinct from its acceptability. ʻAllāmah Misbāh, among others, felt a heavy responsibility to raise intense speculations as to the question of legitimacy and acceptability of the Islamic government, so he carried out extensive researches into the issue in question and provided those interested in this issue with his research findings. In this article, the writer seeks to make clear ʻAllāmeh Misbāh’s view on this issue, trying to find an answer to the question why ʻAllāmeh Misbāh’s view of the legitimacy and acceptability of Islamic government has not fully understood or, rather, has misinterpreted by the critics and he thinks it necessary to give a clear answer to the questions and doubts raised by them.
