Friendship is an internal quality that stems from the conscience and temperament of a person. Neglecting this essential quality of human existence will result in destructive harm that will be difficult or impossible to compensate. Friendship encompasses numerous dimensions of types, degrees, obstacles, meanings, and resources, but the focus of this research is on the examination of two essential categories, “friendship’s causes and properties,” and it begins by posing the following questions: What factors motivate man’s tendency toward friendship, and what topics can constitute friendship? The author intends to investigate the answers to the aforementioned questions from the perspectives of Ghazali and Khwaja Nasir al-Din Tusi, two renowned Islamic thinkers. This research required library research to collect the necessary data, which was then compared to determine the similarities and differences between the two approaches. The findings indicate that Ghazali, with his mystic outlook, considers “God” to be the greatest friendship motive among the causes of love. Also, only “God” deserves to be man’s best companion among the subjects of love, and expressing love to other subjects is interpreted as friendship with God. The greatest motivation for love, according to Khwaja Nasir al-Din Tusi, is the combination of the three reasons he lists for friendship: pleasure, benefit, and pure goodness. In terms of friendship, Khajah prioritizes social relationships with other males.

Abu Hamid Muhammad Al-Ghazali, like some Islamic thinkers, tried to control the power of the rulers and wrote the advice of the kings. In order to examine the literature on controlling Al-Ghazali's power, we did the following: quantitatively and qualitatively examine these advices, the extent to which religious beliefs are used to empower those in power, the difference between the specific advices of kings, ministers and secretaries, and the most common ones. This type of behavior under the title of commanding the good and forbidding the evil has been proposed in the Qur'an, the Sunnah of the Prophet and other Islamic leaders in practical and theoretical forms, and has also found specific manifestations in the thoughts of Islamic thinkers such as Al-Ghazali. The study method was a kind of quantitative and qualitative content analysis of the advice, summarizing and categorizing the items in the tables and determining their absolute and relative frequency. The results show that Al-Ghazali offers very practical and workable ways to control the practical power of rulers, which include four different types. There are two types of advice to kings, the first 22 of which are mostly about self-improvement through the use of religious beliefs in order to control the inner power of the king. The next 52 cases are mostly practical and practical recommendations to curb the power of kings. In the advice to the ministers, in 16 cases, more emphasis was placed on the individual competencies of the ministers, peace-loving, seeking justice, and preventing their oppression and extremism. Recommendations to teachers are 4 items that are mostly specialized.

According to classical anthropologists and historical sociologists, the formation of political systems is related to an early social phenomenon that has existed in all societies as a seed. Accordingly, the sociological understanding of the concept of culture gives a special direction to the analysis of political systems, and first of all, it requires the clarification of cultural symbols, i.e. the same semantic systems that are integrated within society. The present article is an attempt to get acquainted with the ideas of Bertrand Badie and Abu Hamed Mohammad Ghazali and to compare the views of these two theoretician on the foundations and socio-cultural characteristics of the Islamic political system. This article uses a comparative method to examine Bertrand Badie and Ghazali's approach. Based on the data obtained, which are mainly from first-hand sources and some analyzes of other theoretician on the proposed theories, Bertrand Badi'd's cultural analysis of political systems is largely consistent with Imam Mohammad Ghazali's theory of the Islamic political system. In some cases, there are differences.

Aboo Hamid Imam Mohammad Ghazali Toosi is one of the Greatest men of Mysticism in the 5Th Hijri century. In this article we have investigated a number of Ghazali’s views on fertility and related issues. Applying a documentary analysis method, Ghazali’s “Ehya –e- Oloom –e- din” (“Revival of Sciences of Religion”) has been reviewed. The results show his attention and emphasis on fertility and marriage either directly or indirectly. Ghazali has expressed the necessity of family formation and marriage. According to Ghazali, the most important objective of constructing family is reproduction or survival of human kind. He also makes known other consequences and benefits of marriage. In his view, other benefits of marriage are having children, overcoming sexual desire, home management, expanding relatives and making effort to protect women rights. Ghazali has also introduced ‘Azl’ or ‘withdrawal’ as the traditional contraceptive method.
