For this reason, at the time of its occurrence, there were many debates and discussions about various political, social and cultural aspects of this revolution in agreement and opposition to it. This article is dedicated to explaining the ideas and views of one of Iran's greatest jurisprudents, Sheikh Shahid Fazlullah Nouri, about the revolution, the various dimensions and works of constitutionalism, along with a comparative study of its opposite views.
Machine summary:
"Sheikh Fazlullah describes the Majlis that the scholars wanted as follows: The Majlis is the Council of the Islamic Cobra and was established by the efforts of the Hajjaj of Islam and the Nawab of the Imam (a.s.) and the followers of the Jafari religion have been established (Turkman: 241-242, 244). Sheikh Fazlullah also objected to the amendment of the original draft regarding the second article of the constitution and denied that the Majlis has the right to interfere in the selection of mujtahids of this council. Turkman 267-268, 275; Kasravi: 422). Sheikh Fazlullah considered such a work against Sharia and believed that the real intention of this work is to establish Farang-style schools and educate immature children based on foreign habits.(Kasravi: 434; Turkman: 331). Therefore, Sheikh Fazlullah accused his opponents of interfering in Shari'a rulings, and among other things, he objected that they have made obligatory what is part of permissible actions, and by doing so, they have become an obstacle to the basic goals of Islam. Therefore, [Sheikh] Fazlullah was of the opinion that unlike in the past when government regulations were generally considered to be matters outside of religion, in the current situation, under the condition of the Majlis's loyalty to the orders of the board that has been foreseen [the board of first-rate scholars], such regulations and Sharia matters It is considered an obligatory duty (Molkzadeh: 215; Turkman: 109). In his treatise Tadzirah al-Ghafil, Sheikh Fazlullah attacked the constitutionalists for discrediting the Sultan of Islam Panah and thereby weakening the Islamic government, which is composed of the king and scholars (Turkman: 68, 92).
