Mortaza Motahari and Fatemeh Marneisi have put the issue of the Muslim woman in a modern situation in the spotlight; from a Shi'i political jurisprudence perspective and from another Islamic feminist perspective. The present paper examines the views of these two thinkers on the rights of Muslim women, and sets out questions that Motahari and Marannis regard as civil, political, and social rights for Muslim women.What are the similarities and differences between these two thinkers? Research findings show Motahhari considers a woman to be the same as the man in terms of being, thus the right to freedom of conscience and religion, the right to property, the right to education, and equal security (from social rights) and equal suffrage (from Political rights) for women with men, but due to differences in the nature of men and women, different rights with men in the field of inheritance, coverage and divorce law, the right to work (from social rights) and the right to choose The political will (for political rights) is for women. In contrast to Merannis, there is an inseparable equality between men and women, as a result of which all Muslim, social and political rights that can be given to Muslim men are also considered by Muslim women. The basis for the difference between Motahari and Maranni's views can be attributed to their different attitudes toward Islam.

Of the three basic phenomenon of fertility, mortality and migration leads to demographic changes, this paper attempts to analyze the concept of fertility among the ideas of Avicenna, a Persian physician and philosopher (370-428 AD) is. The method used in this study is a documentary-analytical method. The findings suggest that Avicenna in his books, in addition to discussing the role of women as those who are responsible for childbearing, That marriage is a legitimate basis for childbearing and divorce phenomenon in the breakdown of marriage, childbearing, disrupt legitimate, argued.

The questions of the nature of the Western civilization and the way to confront it have been among important questions for Muslim politicians and thinkers, in the last two centu-ries. In this research, Ayatollah Motahari’s views on the West and the way to deal with it are studied. The main questions in this paper are: can Islamic and Western civilizations bor-row from each other intellectually and is there any limitation in such a borrowing, from Motahari’s view? While he argues that the West’s borrowings from the Islamic civilisation played an important role in the formation of the modern Western civilisation, he believes that the latter suffers from many weaknesses, which are related to its philosophical founda-tions and can also be seen in its political thought and practice. Motahari sees colonialism as the darkest point in the process of exchange between the West and Muslim societies. In principle, he is pessimist about the Western civilisation, though acknowledges its achieve-ments in some aspects such as science and technology and even in the promotion of justice. He does not refute Muslims’ adoption from the West, but renounces any attempt at dissolv-ing Islamic identity within the Western civilisation or following the latter’s deficiencies. He does not see the civilisation as a package that must be adopted or rejected as a whole, nor does he see it an integrated civilization with no differentiation between its constituent soci-eties.

Woman as a symbol of divine Beauty in Imam Khomeini`s thought has a close connection to some high concepts such as freedom, chastity, dignity, the origin of the good, bravery etc. and she has a major influence on the destiny of herself and her society. The woman in the thought of Imam Khomeini (pbuh) not against the man, but beside him, has a significant responsibility in all aspects of personal, social and political life. Aside from a short period in the early Islam, when her true dignity was revived by the Prophet and his family (pbut), the woman was deprived of her true status in all other eras. Findings of this survey shows that Imam Khomeini’s points of view concerning the presence of the woman in the society in two different era of Pahlavi and after Islamic revolution are totally different. In the time of Pahlavi, this presence was not desirable because of the situation of that period, like hijab prohibition, which made it impossible for women to reach their real status. But the revolutionary movements of women during the formation of Islamic revolution of Iran and imposed war are considered blessing. The attribute of Imam Khomeini had an impressive influence on the social presence of women after revolution. This paper assessing the identity and dignity of the Muslim woman from the viewpoint of Imam Khomeini (pbuh) and the result of such attribute on the social presence of women in various aspects by giving real examples in this respect.

Reviewing the thoughts of those Muslim philosophers who have political debates about city shows that their discussions about virtuous city will finally come to two ends of spectrum; either homelessness (isolation) or cosmopolitan (vagabondage). In one hand, virtuous man is nurtured in virtuous city and in other hand, the non-virtuous city prevents man from having virtue and virtuous man is forced to go out of city. Farabi, while discusses different kinds of non-virtuous cities to bespeak the possibility of virtuous city, suggest the "virtuous planet". He divides societies into small, middle and big sized, and prescribes the transition from living in a city to cosmopolitan; virtuous planet is a big gathering of all societies all over the earth that is directed by one leader based on virtuous actions. The significant point in this kind of philosophizing is that two spectrum of homelessness and cosmopolitan are suggested for virtuous man. This view toward social life continues among philosophers such as Avicenna, Suhrewardi, Ibn Bajja (Avempace) and Ibn Tofail (Abubacer Aben Tofail). Nevertheless, al-Farabi's thought about non-virtuous cities recognizes living in a civil society. Focusing on al-Farabi's ideas in this article, above-mentioned issues are discussed by philosophical content analysis method. Keywords: City (Polis), Civil Life, Homelessness (Isolation), Cosmopolitan (Vagabondage), al-Farabi.

Along with being "Islamic", being "Public" (Márdomi) is among the most important distinctive features of the Islamic Revolution. This study aimed at Ali Sháriati's stance on the notion of People in comparison with Mortáza Motáhari's. These two thinkers had a great deal of philosophical and sociological debates on such concepts as "The Individual", "Society", "History", and "Nās" in their works. However, due to practical involvement in revolutionary campaigns, they had to deal with the notion of "People" not as an abstract issue and not as the object of philosophical-sociological theorizations, but as the ordinary common people considering their role in plans for change in the current order or establishment of the new order. Seemingly, Shariati was preoccupied most in the problem of people-intellectual and had a twofold stance toward people: from one hand, he considered people as an absolute standard to assess all the social and the religious issues including God, the Prophet, worship, art, and the like. On the other hand, he selectively distinguished between the "Semi-human" and the "thirsty for faith and the deep desirer for the epoch of human equality" and put the latter at the heart of his plan for social evolution. Instead, Motahari focused most on the problem of people-religion and challenged the application of the notion of "the miserable" (Mostázáf) to ordinary people asserting that the miserable was not the same as the believer (Mômen). He assumed "good deed" (Ámal-e-Sāleh) as the criterion to assess ordinary people instead of miserableness. The study utilized documentary research method as well as reviewing the text of these two thinker's works.
