Ma`rifat

As mentioned in the first part, there are ambiguities or disagreements regarding “the relationship between ethics and politics” not only among ordinary people, but also among experts and scholars. Here I will briefly refer to the existing views in this area and then explain their differences with the Islamic view. Three approaches are briefly outlined in this field: the “conceptual and substantive separation of ethics and politics” approach, which argues that there is a contrast between ethics and politics; “the existence of two types of ethical systems: Individual and Social" approach, which states that ethics should not be limited to individual or interpersonal relationships, and that the realm of government and politics should not be excluded from ethics; and the "the primacy of political interests in cases of shared ethics and politics" approach, which holds that some ethical matters are not within the realm of politics, and some managerial, executive, and political matters are not within the realm of ethics.
