The establishment of the Islamic State in the Age of Absence is one of the fundamental issues of political jurisprudence. This article compares and analyzes the collected ideas and documents collected from the works of Mirza Naeini and Shahid Sadr with a comparative research method such as collecting library data and imitating Skeiner's hermeneutic theoretical idea in understanding the political thought of these two Islamic thinkers. The research findings emphasize several points; Contrary to popular belief in the similarity of the council government in Naini and Sadr's thought, the two theories are different. In the geometry of Mirza Naeini's political knowledge, sovereignty is a divine right and does not belong to the people, but the council is the people's right. According to the principle of the council, the people have the right to consult with the ruler, but in the opinion of Martyr Sadr, the sovereignty is the people's right, and consulting is a right of public to stablish the sovereignty of the people. The essential difference of the council government leads to the formation of different functions for the principle of the council in Imami jurisprudence and causes the emergence of a new approach in examining the political matter from the perspective of Imami political jurisprudence.
