The Sermon of Ghadir is the most important document of the authenticity of the Ahl al-Bayt school, in which the Holy Prophet spoke in detail about his succession. His words in the farewell Hajj and in the midst of the crowd are the most important and complete sermon that introduced Ali and the Imams after him as his successors. This research was carried out in order to achieve the hypothesis that the rules of political jurisprudence derived from this sermon can be considered as useful and practical principles for the administration of Islamic government. This article collects information with a library method, and the data analysis used in this research is done with a descriptive-analytical method. The analysis of the sermon Ghader from the point of view of jurisprudence and politics is a new look at this sermon that has not been addressed so far, and this type of view can be a starting point for the analysis of other sermons from this aspect. This research shows that the most important jurisprudential-political rules and elements are included in this sermon, and therefore it can be claimed that this sermon is the most political sermon that the Holy Prophet delivered during his 23 years of mission. Discussions such as the necessity of forming a government, observing the most important expediency in order to preserve the essence of Islam, cooperation under which the role of the people in the formation of the government and their political participation are discussed are among the results of this research.
