Abstract
For a long time, this question has arisen that: whether the ethics and politics are in agreement or can we do some deeds which are profitable and acceptable at the same time. Some like the Machiavelians believe that to achieve a goal using all the methods and means are liable though they are immoral and unacceptable, because the profitable goal may not be accompanied with moral means. On the other hand, some believe that such goals should be ignored, because the achieve them we may utilize some immoral and illegitimate methods and means, and the human deeds should be moral. Generally, to reach human interest utilizing the moral means not only is possible but also is necessary. In this study, the authors try to find the relationship between ethics and politics and to show its impact on the political destination and prosperity of man in the view of Islamic scholars. The last hypothesis should be proved, because creating and tightening a link between ethics and politics in theory and practice is a vital necessity to save man and human society. The Islamic texts indicate that considering the moral values and ethics by the government may lead to the prosperity and accomplishment of people, otherwise, the society may lead to the downfall and destruction of humanity. Through investing theoretical and practical resources the following results are concluded: the Islamic policy is a special one which is opposite to the world unpopular policies. In political organization of Islam the ethics and politics are in agreement and Islamic policy is based on ethics. In Islam, politics is not a means to acquire power but power is a means to get right and prevail justice in the society to destroy oppression, to serve people and to teach them the human virtue.
Keywords: Ethics and Politics, Islamic texts, Muslim scholars, Islamic politics, Muslims rulers.
