Research into the history of political jurisprudence (fiqh) can be conducted with different approaches. The selected approach to the issue in question is to bring the political and social developments in the history of political jurisprudence into sharp focus in this research work. According to this approach, the history of the political jurisprudence in its evolutionary course are divided into four periods: ‘formation’, ‘formulation’, ‘establishment’, and ‘fulfilment’. In the first period the jurisprudential principles regarding the Prophetic Jurisprudence (figh al-Nabi), the Caliphate Jurisprudence (fiqh al-Khilafah), and the Imamate Jurisprudence (fiqh al-ImÁmah) have been formed. The most important feature of the formation period was the measures taken to identify the Shi‘Ð scholars who have embarked on formulating ideas and doctrines into books and preserving the cultural heritage of Shi‘ism. Their strategy regarding the political jurisprudence was mainly to provide ‘political statements’. The ‘establishment period’ can be said to be the active presence of Shi‘Ð jurisprudence which was once marginalized. The introduction of Shi‘Ð jurisprudence into the contemporary real life, its social influence as well as its conflict with the model which lends support to monarchy as a system of government transforms the strategy of the political jurisprudence from political statement into a ‘political theory’. In the fourth period, political jurisprudence leaves its theoretical realm and enters the realm of ‘political system’. In this model, through a series of political processes and developments, the Muslim jurist, faqih, acquire merits to be put on the top of the political power hierarchy.
