This research tried to design overall pattern of Islamic sociology based on Islamic approach to anthropology, theology, epistemology and the nature of society and its theoretical process is being understood based on contextualization, Conceptualization and methodology. Innovation of this research are: first of all, the model is being design according to objections in this era, second, it is logical aggregation of  important and prevailing approach, third, organic link between science and religion, foundations and process of theorizing, is being clearly drawn.

Abstract
In the discussion of Islamic science, if deriving fundamental propositions of a scientific discipline from Islamic sources is the criterion for it to be Islamic, the extent of compatibility of its fundamental propositions with Islamic worldview will be the criterion for its empathy with Islam. Some epistemological reasons indicate that testing the possibility of a more empathetic sociology with Islam is much easier and more useful than establishing a new efficient one, accepted by all. In this essay, I search important philosophical and methodological discussions in order to study and derive fundamental propositions and general assumptions in the contemporary sociology. Moreover, according to my goal, the criterion for Islamic worldview is prevalent perception among contemporary religious experts in our society. This study indicates that the general epistemological and methodological   assumptions of contemporary sociology are not incompatible with the prevalent Islamic thought. Then, we have two easier ways: 1) Establishing Islamic sociology-if we consider it possible- by taking inspiration from the derived propositions, and inferring their content from Islamic sources, 2) Developing theories with close Islamic assumptions, on the basis of foundations of contemporary sociology.

Abstract

In the Western tradition, positive, interpretive, and critical paradigms are generally referred to as having serious theoretical and practical differences and contradictions. The paradigm - which consists of ontological, epistemological and methodological foundations - like the glasses of a researcher, defines the basis of a special methodology in the production of science; because intellectual frameworks affect the construction, process and direction of research. Thus, each of the three paradigms common in the Western tradition results in human and natural science commensurate with themselves.
The goal of the "Islamic Revolution" is the implementation of religion in all areas of human life. To achieve this goal and achieve the model of Islamic progress and the establishment of a new Islamic civilization, it needs to reproduce, refine and discover science; a science that is based on its theoretical framework (paradigm). Therefore, the discovery and redesign of the "Islamic paradigm of science" is necessary and inevitable to achieve the goals of the Islamic Revolution.
Islamic philosophy has taken a direct path, contrary to the ups and downs of the Western tradition. Although different periods and schools have emerged in it, But day by day, the power of its essence has increased. The core of the unit of Islamic wisdom, as a paradigm, is stretched across the range of knowledge in the Islamic tradition. This paradigm - like other paradigms - is composed of ontological, epistemological and methodological principles. And as a methodological recommendation, it also introduces a specific process.
This article believes that the essence of Islamic wisdom has the capacity to be redesigned based on the main components of the frameworks of famous Western paradigms. This article is written with a descriptive-analytical approach and library method. This article is written with a descriptive-analytical approach and library method And introduces the epistemological foundations of the "Islamic paradigm of science" by extracting from the essence of the system of Islamic wisdom with emphasis on the foundations of Master Motahhari, and It designs it in the form of a "Five-layer Pyramid".

Abstract

God is the creator and leader of the world in Islamic ontology.  In Islamic understanding, means of cognition are ‘hearth’ and ‘theoretical reasoning’, besides ‘senses’ and ‘instrumental reasoning’, therefore, methodology of knowledge creation is more sophisticated than merely relying on the ‘experience’.  This article would like to deal with methodology according to fundamental Islamic values and morals.  The summation of about 1000 hours of discussions with 20 Moslem social and humanities scholars considering secular and Islamic social sciences’ methodologies have done by the author of this article.  According to Islamic thinkers, creatures have three dimensions of ‘time’, ‘space’ and ‘direction’.  It is a consensus among them that human beings have three means of understanding: ‘senses’, ‘reasoning’ and ‘hearth’.  It means that all beings have three dimensions: sensible, thinkable and heartily.  There for, methodologically, to study a subject we need to review three dimensions with three means of cognitions.  Multiplying these three dimensions we would have a nine-box matrix.  These boxes are nine defining factors of each researchable subject.  According to this matrix we will introduce a methodological model for more comprehensive study of all subjects.

Abstract

Definition of knowledge by its components and conditions is the fundamental issue in the human sciences. However, the method of this study is introduced by independency of the metaphysics, but it has led to the neglect of the essence of knowledge in the sciences. Nevertheless, the study of sense-data as one of the certain examples of knowledge declares that there's no escape from interfering principles of the metaphysics to the explanation of knowledge. in this article, some principles of Sadra's philosophy – like the principality of existence and causality are applied to obtain the essence of knowledge and a kind of epistemology is declared that take existence as subject matter and explains the deeper level of knowledge. it claimed the existence in the sense that is the revealer and has epiphany property, is the principle of the definition of knowledge. By the sketch, the sense-data is identified as the dependent existence that has an epiphany property by the causal relation.
