Meaning of Islamic nature of laws
In explaining the meaning of the Islamic nature of laws and orders, it is important to pay attention to the process of enacting common laws. For example, in codifying and approving bylaws and orders the cabinet or executive power must act within the perimeter determined for it by the Islamic Consultative Assembly and not go beyond it. In other words, the extent of the executive power’s prerogatives has been stipulated by the Constitution and the Majlis’s statutory laws, and the executive orders should be within this framework.
The World Assembly of Shiite Studies was established in 2003 (1382 AH) by a group of scholars from seminaries and universities. The purpose of founding this independent academic institution was to introduce the school of Shi‘ism and defend its legitimacy through education, research, translation and publication, communications, and Islamic promotion. This center has continued its mission with strength and determination and envisions a bright future ahead.
