Abstract One of the most important theories in the field of administrative law is the theory of "public services". Public services are public benefit activities that are carried out through public institutions or private institutions under the supervision of public persons to meet public needs. This theory is considered the main basis for the existence of the administrative system of the government and is subject to the principles that govern it. The findings of Ferraro's article, which explains and compares the "theory of public services in Islamic jurisprudence and public law" with a descriptive-analytical method, is that the effort to provide public services is the interface between the Islamic perspective and the common western perspective. The difference is that today's modern governments seek their legitimacy in the optimal provision of public services; But the Islamic government has based its legitimacy on divine principles and considers providing services to the people as one of its goals and duties. Another difference is in the range of examples. In Islamic jurisprudence and teachings, duties have been determined for the government that do not only include bread, housing, freedom, security and order; Rather, the government is the guardian of society's culture and the development of moral virtues. Also, according to Islamic jurisprudence, in the principles governing public services, absolute equality between citizens and absolute priority of services and interests of individuals over individuals are not accepted.
