Tarikh Islam

Thought management is related to the "domain of human knowledge" that is influenced by several variables and has different requirements and conditions in relation to other areas such as politics and sovereignty. One of the variables in this field is the issue of “authority”, which has received more attention from religious and political perspective. This issue has a special position in the management of thoughts in the conduct of the Prophet (S), though he has always been accused of using power (anger and domination) in managing thoughts and spreading his message (Islam). Using a descriptive-analytical method, and focusing on the historical sources, this paper analyzes the status of authority in the management of thoughts in the life of the holy Prophet (S) to determine its manifestations, levels and coordination, and on the other hand, to remove the accusations against the Messenger of God (S). The necessity and appropriateness of all kinds of authority with intellectual content, coordinating the scientific authority to intellectual management, creating an effective idea in the audience’s mindset about authority, the balance of military power with the management of thoughts to remove obstacles, and finally, applying the power of authority in a generous way are among the findings of this research.
