Sheikh Ishraq's philosophy is the philosophy of our culture and it seems to be closer to Iranian-Islamic philosophy than any other school of thought during the last fourteen centuries, because it has an inherent connection with the intellectual background of Iranians. This study aims to explain Shahab al-Din Suhrawardi's views and enter into the essence of his philosophy, to explain a clear and comprehensive picture of enlightenment teachings from the perspective of urban planning and design. In this regard, the article first describes the ontology and epistemology of enlightenment wisdom and interprets the relationship between space and the philosophy of light, then using the interpretive system and qualitative content analysis research method, reviewing first to third hand sources, seeks to extract the components of the desired city from the point of view of enlightenment wisdom. Findings show that the attributes of the enlightened city, which are based on the monotheistic worldview and high Islamic teachings and values, fall into two general categories of attributes of the physical realm, including the city as the body of light, the manifestation of the universe, the sense of unity, the concepts of paradox and symbolism, as well as the attributes of the non-physical realm, including the city of consciousness, perception, perfection, gratitude, education, self-knowledge and spiritual ascent. Understanding and applying this proposed conceptual framework can be used as a fundamental, valid and solid point of reference based on the philosophical reflections of Sheikh Ishraq in the system of theories and professions of urban planning.

The total of ideal attributes to reach a desirable community has formed Utopia theory according to the perspective of the thinkers and different societies for centuries. Many philosophers studied the attributes of the utopia in the Islamic world, and according to the difference in basics, different ideals have been defined than the other societies for the Islamic utopia. Ayatullah Javadi Amoli is one of the recent jurists who analyzed the nature of utopia, emphasizing rationality. The conducted studies show that the difference between Ayatullah Javadi Amoli and other scholars is his attention to the purpose, basics, and how they are extracted from the resources of utopia. The difference between religious and non-religious thought is in how these three elements are viewed and applied. Research has shown that the basis of human beings' right to live in an ideal society is their dignity. The source of dignity through the lens of religion is God and from a secular point of view is nature. To achieve the characteristics of the Islamic utopia, the authors have extracted principles from Ayatullah Javadi Amoli’s works. The authors have tried to bring these principles into line with the principles of urban planning. In the non-religious approach, the main source to achieve the foundations has been people’s desire and common belief, and Absolute Wise’s discretion, i.e., God, is centralized in the religious approach. The difference in the resource results in the different purposes of forming a utopia. In this research, we seek to examine the ideas of Ayatullah Javadi Amoli by using the research method of qualitative content analysis, and by analyzing his works and books, to extract the relationship between the elements said in advance and the principles of the Islamic utopia in a way that maximizes coherence and consistent with the views of this great jurist.

Current cities have faced many problems due to the complexity of urban living. Issues that can't be solved only by relying on contemporary and Western ideas, therefore, producing theoretical literature based on Islamic and Iranian ideas is very important. An analysis of the activities and attitudes of Muslim thinkers is one of the most important sources that could help researchers to investigate Iranian-Islamic thought. Nizam al-Mulk was one of the most influential political elites and Seljuk Minister. His thoughts in the Siyāsatnāmeh are the solution to issues in various aspects of urban life. The purpose of this article is to study the ideas of Nizam al-Mulk for the interpretation of the Iranian-Islamic city. Therefore, using content and text analysis and exploratory-descriptive method by utilization of documents and resources, his views are interpreted in various physical, political-managerial, economic and socio-cultural aspects. The findings show that the Iranian-Islamic city, according to Nizam al-Mulk views, is a developed, safe, just, powerful, productive and knowledge city.

The main purpose of the research is to search for the concept of "social capital" as one of the factors of human-oriented development in the thoughts of Mulla Sadra as the turning point of the link between philosophy, mysticism and Islamic theology. In this paper, using the traditional hermeneutic method which is based on the author-oriented and text-oriented, it is tried to achieve social capital readings in Sadra's wisdom in three steps. In the first step, by interpreting Mulla Sadra's thoughts, first by converting the text into the living world, the social effects of Mulla Sadra's theories are extracted. Then, by discovering the horizon of text, interpretation, and text are mixed, and the concept of social capital from the works of Mulla Sadra is interpreted. It has to be said that social capital in Mulla Sadra's view is limited to moral virtues within the framework of divine laws that manifest in communal relationships, and in this way it is related to the components of "religious social capital". And in the third step, by matching the theoretical components of social capital with the components extracted from Mulla Sadra's thoughts, it is found that the components of religious social capital, although relying on moral and individual virtues, but their result in the interpersonal relationships corresponds to the components of social capital in Western theories. For example, the occurrence of "goodness and philanthropy" as a moral virtue in collective action leads to the realization of the concept of social support and participation.

Utopia is a mental understanding generated by each society about its position in history and culture, and is one of the subjects that have been explained in different periods, in the form of literary texts, social-Political system, and impossible and possible place but the drawing of it in terms of time and place is a manifestation of various. In Iran, from ancient times to Islamic civilization, Iranian scholars have presented diverse and different views that provide a clear picture of it, can play a significant role in the production of the model of Islamic-Iranian utopianism and its application as a measure The desirability of today's cities. In this regard, in the present study, utopia in the Islamic-Iranian civilization is based on the views of Nezami Ganjavi, the poet and scholar of the sixth century AH. The main purpose of the compilation of the conceptual framework of this poet's and scholar's views on utopia was to emphasize its role in Iranian-Islamic urbanism. So, using the qualitative content analysis method, the concepts of Nezami’s utopianism have been discussed in the two-fold script of Eskandarnameh including Sharafname and Eghbalname. Then, the relationship between concepts in the conceptual model of the Iranian-Islamic utopian is expressed using the meta-analysis technique. The findings of the research indicate that Islamic-Iranian utopianism, regardless of the temporal dimension, focuses on the concepts of wisdom and justice as an ideal representation for today's cities, redefined with the priority of virtue versus other characteristics of the city.

Today, given the development of complex urban problems, the necessity of paying attention to solutions related to Iranian-Islamic cities, in accordance with the cultural, social, political and physical context, seems evident. Meanwhile, studying Muslim thinkers' thoughts can be of importance in finding solution to the complexities of the cities. Abu Ali Sina, as a great Muslim scholar, has contributed to the development of urban thoughts considerably. In particular, his concept of Medina of Adela (the city of justice) is innovatory in the realm of theories of urban planning and urban development. The present paper aims to explore Abu Ali Sina's views on urbanization, identifying the characteristics of a desirable city, unfolding dimensions of social life in the urban environment, as well as explaining socio-economic, political, and physical relations in an urban society. The research method in this study is a combination of content analysis, deductive-descriptive methods, as well as causal analysis and meta-analysis. Our findings show that the existence of a healthy urban community requires attention to all aspects of social, economic, political and physical relations, so that these subsystems can be related to each other as a whole and each part affect the other ones systematically.
