Ghadir's Governance Model: Divine Justice vs Contemporary Systems

Explaining the characteristics of the political system and governance based on the Ghadir Khumm event in contrast to common governance models in the modern world is an undeniable necessity for today’s society and people. Given that the common governance models of today’s societies are mainly based on social contracts, the rule of human laws, and material power relations, the Ghadir model is based on divine guardianship, absolute justice, and moral excellence.

Hawzah News Agency- In Ghadir governance, governance is people-based, but popular participation will be while following the right. Contrary to the misconception that sees guardianship in conflict with democracy, the Ghadir model explains a type of religious and value-oriented democracy in which people participate in the process of establishing the system through recognizing the right and accepting guardianship. It is very important that people in this model are not simply voters, but are obliged to support the right and monitor the performance of the ruler. This view elevates the concept of "public oversight" from the level of a civil right to the level of a religious and moral obligation and provides an internal guarantee for the stability of the system against deviations of power.

In a comparative comparison of the Ghadir model with the common models of human societies, it becomes clear that the index of the common model is modern liberalism and the index of the Ghadir model is divine. It is quite clear that in the human model, the source of legitimacy is structurally considered to be based on social contracts and the majority; the main goal is to manage interests and political stability, and the basis of law will be the will of the majority and formal legalism. The relationship between the ruler and the people is also considered a contract based on mutual interests and justice in the sense of equality and legal equality.

However, in the Ghadir model, the basis of legitimacy is divine guardianship and social acceptance. In this model, there are inextricable links between the realization of justice and human development, the implementation of divine laws, legalism and moral values, and also the responsibility to implement justice and eliminate structural injustice is one of the most important goals of Ghadir governance. These links ensure that the law is not simply a reflection of the changing will of the majority, but rather a manifestation of the fixed and timeless principles of right.
