The essential needs of societies are provided through natural social organizations, called institutions. For instance, to create order and security and management of society, the institution of politics is formed. Every culture and civilization has its own style of management and discipline. Hence, every civilization has a political institution with its own structure. Modern civilization was formed and developed by abandoning the unseen reality and relying on the apparent reality (secularism) and trust in man (humanism). Its social institutions, including politics, were based on this. With the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979 and the emergence of Islam in a civilized perspective, it seems that new structures were given to social institutions, especially politics. The present article tries to estimate the structure of politics in the new Islamic civilization in a comparative study using the method of reviewing texts and discussing and consulting experts. The findings of this study show that the form of politics in these two types of civilizations are fundamentally different from each other; however, both may adhere to democracy. Modern civilization, based on humanism and attention to the profit and benefit of human beings, allows any kind of action, but Islamic civilization relies on divine lordship and tries to replace the system in politics with the importance of the link between the unseen and the visible. Divine to be present and current in different social levels.

Iranian Islamic revolution in 1979 provided new attitudes toward woman's social participation. The present paper is an attempt to investigate three intellectual traditions concerning women's social participation in the four recent decades. These three ways of thinking about women social status, which can be considered as the most important intellectual currents in the Islamic Republic of Iran include, Islamic traditionalism, Islamic modernism, and Islamic civilization approach. This paper, using documentary method, focuses on the main components of each tradition and introduces the pattern of women's participation in society according to each of them. At the end, the paper categorizes the discussed participation patterns as family-oriented, community-oriented and progressive-oriented, and draws a comprehensive model of the theoretical approach of Islamic civilization tradition. A comparative study of these traditions indicates that the Islamic civilization approach, with systemic attitude and evolutionary orientation, provides a rather complete model for women's participation in an Islamic society.

The first aim of this article is to present Zahed’s conceptual–operational model of freedom on the basis of Islamic thoughts. The second goal is to distinguish how freedom would run in the Islamic society according to this operational model. Finally, we will talk about the differences between this new conceptualization of freedom and the secular one. We will introduce theoretical, social and cultural dimensions of Zahed’s approach to freedom and then talk about what and how freedom would be in the individual level and the social one according to this model. In addition, to have a better understanding of freedom in Islamic society, we will compare freedom in Islamic and secular societies. This is a documentary and qualitative content analysis research. Based on our findings, Islamic freedom is a cultural concept with several layers. It will be realized an individual becomes free of anti-nature (gheir-e-fetri) hindrances and resist anti-nature social impediments. This resistance has personal and social dimensions. The personal dimension is not to let the obstructions limit her/him from inside and/or outside and then act against them in the social context not letting them to make obstructions to others. Emancipation is to arrange the social order in such a way to make people act according to their nature and avoid anti-nature hindrances. In secular societies richer people experience more freedom because of ownership right.
