Abstract
The pursuit of establishing a new Islamic civilization and countering prevailing deviant discourses requires a nuanced understanding of power, firmly rooted in religious principles and aligned with authentic human experiences. This necessitates the development of a comprehensive theoretical framework. This research leverages the jurisprudential teachings of Imam Khomeini (may his soul be sanctified) and his interpretation of the hadith "The Three Knowledges" to explore the meaningful relationships among the three levels of humanity, the three domains of jurisprudence, and the three principal areas of vital sciences. The interconnections among these elements and their multifaceted impacts form the foundation of this study and contribute to the construction of a "jurisprudential theoretical framework." By integrating power within this framework, the concept of "jurisprudential power" is introduced, providing the basis for the "formulation of jurisprudential power." This article elaborates on the definitions of the various fields of jurisprudence, examines their thematic elements, and delineates their respective missions and functions in both individual and societal contexts. Additionally, it analyzes the six-dimensional effects of these fields of jurisprudence, addressing both their reinforcing and diminishing influences. The findings yield a novel conceptualization of the semantic system, hierarchies, missions, objectives, examples, and effects of power, collectively referred to as the "theoretical framework of jurisprudence," with the aim of promoting humanization and civilization. The study employs a descriptive-analytical methodology supported by comprehensive library research.
