Governmental jurisprudence is a belief in the capability of Islamic jurisprudence in managing the society and, considering the establishment of a government as the only way for the realization of sharia in personal and social domains. This approach is to present a new formulization of individual and state relationships. In the framework of governmental jurisprudence, there is an interactional relationship between individual and state to exert sharia; that is, individuals make the state and the state prepares the ground for the enforcement of sharia. In this way, individuals are responsible towards sharia, but due to the importance of religious precepts, this responsibility is performed in a more perfect way through the establishment of government. Thus both the individual and the state are responsible for enforcing sharia. This paper studies a part of the issue and concentrates only on the responsibilities of individuals with respect the realization of sharia, trying to analyze the issue within the framework of governmental jurisprudence and on the basis of Imam Khomeini's ideas.
