Islamic school has codified the citizenship rights based on transcendent vision of man. The goal of this essay is providing an answer for the following question: what is the role of the principles of Islamic politics in the explanation of citizenship rights? In the current research the latter issue is assayed through a descriptive and analytic approach. The rule of divine law; two-sidedness of man and the citizenship rights; human dignity and the citizenship rights; divine caliphate of man and the citizenship rights are among the findings of this study. Among the results of this research one can refer to the fact that Islamic religion is consistent with politics and law. Islam takes human spiritual aspect to be the major aspect of his existence while his corporeal aspect is considered as the ancillary to the former aspect and the basis that provides the ground for all human individuals to reach prosperity in this world and the otherworld. Human affairs are handled by God and the sovereignty is also based on His Will because by consciousness of this fact in policy making, codification of laws and legislation of judgments, citizenship rights and his true material and spiritual interests are observed and the grounds required for the fulfillment of the proper citizenship rights as well as the institutionalization of ethics, religious and human values in individuals and society are highlighted.
