The discussion of government and the ideal government and who should rule has always been a concern of Islamic scholars, especially Shia. This research examines the comparison of the two Muslim thinkers who lived in two different eras about government. Ibn Sina, the Islamic philosopher who lived in the 4th and 5th centuries, and Ayatollah Seyyed Mir Abd al-Fattah Hosseini Maraghei, were the scholars of the beginning of the Qajar period. While dividing governments into good and bad, Ibn Sina and Maraghei share the opinion of the ideal government that comes to the Prophet, peace be upon him, and considering that Ibn Sina lived in a period when the governments had Sunni tendencies and he was an official in politics, he used taqiyyah in some of his arguments about the government. Also, he was influenced by his contemporaries, Farabi, while Maraghei lived in the Qajar era, which was the type of Shiite government that was oppressive. and the scholars had political relations with Qajaria, and at the same time, the theorizing about the government and the ideal government and the authority of the faqih by Mullah Ahmad Naraghi, Kashif al-Ghata, etc., had expanded a lot; therefore, there was a field of theorizing and the influence of Naraghi and Kashif al-Ghata, while dealing with the government, proved the reasons for the authority of the faqih. The third point of this Sina's ideas about government was discussed through political philosophy, while Maraghei's ideas about proving the ideal government were discussed through jurisprudence.
