Ma`rifat

In Islamic thought, particularly from the perspective of Ayatollah Mohammad-Taqi Mesbah Yazdi (may God bless his soul), the human sciences play a fundamental role in the reform and efficiency of social and administrative structures. Efficiency in administrative systems is not limited to technical productivity; it also encompasses spiritual growth, justice, accountability, and the realization of religious values. Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi, through a profound critique of the epistemological and anthropological foundations of Western human sciences, maintains that without a fundamental reform of human sciences and their replacement with Islamic human sciences, no sustainable transformation in the administrative and managerial systems of society can be achieved. This study employs a descriptive-analytical method and relies on the Islamic foundations of anthropology, epistemology, and axiology in Mesbah Yazdi’s thought to elucidate the role of Islamic human sciences in enhancing administrative efficiency. The findings indicate that reforming human sciences is a prerequisite for restructuring administrative systems in Islamic societies, and such reform must be designed around ethics, spirituality, loyalty to divine guidance, and the purposeful development of human beings within the framework of creation.
