In addition, the research findings showed that while Imami jurisprudence places special emphasis on the role of reason, the prevailing atmosphere in the Iran’s educational system and the current interpretation of Islamic education is mainly based on the following principles such as ignoring individual differences of learners, emphasizing imitation, denial of questioning and lack of a creative and rational role in the process of teaching and learning. Given these findings, the need for educational policymakers to coordinate the process of Islamic education with Imami jurisprudence - with a focus on the role of reason - seems necessary.Fatemh KarimiMohammad Jafari HarandiComparative Education Society of Iran ( CESIR)articleimami jurisprudenceislamic educationreasonsunni jurisprudenceEducationLENIranian Journal of Comparative Education, Vol 4, Iss 1, Pp 1047-1063 (2021)

The purpose of this research was to explain the role and position of reason in Islamic education with emphasis on comparing Imami and Sunni jurisprudence.
