Political Necissities of the Goal-oriented Universe from the Perspective of the Holy Quran

Abstract

The study of the position of the Universe as the material world has a special significance in its purposefulness or instrumentalism in politics. The question is that whether acquiring different dimensions of Universe is the purpose of politics, or it is the mean by which politicians approach to the goals of politics. This research revealed that those who have an independent viewpoint of the universe, consider the universe as the goal of politics. Another group does not value the existence of the universe, and the third group considers it as the mean of achieving the goals beyond the prosperity of the eternal life. This study, by examining the verses of the Quran, attempts to show which group is accepted in the Quran and which is criticized.
