The dominant approach to Islamic governance considers Islam as an epistemological system and tries to identify and discover the institutions, practices, principles and rules of Islamic governance from within it. In this approach, like other epistemological systems, analysis is based on certain transcendental axioms. From an epistemological point of view, many works and books have been written about Islamic governance. In this article, we sought to answer the question that from a non-epistemological point of view, how can one think of Islamic governance? To answer this question, the hypothesis formulated using the immanent method (Which is in contrast to the transcendental method and the epistemological approach) is that in the non-epistemological approach to Islamic governance, which can be called "Islamic governmentality", Islam will become the active political force in the immanent life of subjects, regulating the behavior of subjects through changing and daily relations with themselves, resisting the un compromising and domineering axioms of the present, and turning Muslim subjects into creative forces of government . . The most important example of such a non-epistemological Islamic governance (Islamic governmentality) can be seen in the current Islam in the life of revolutionaries in the years leading up to the Islamic Revolution.

The political analysis of contemporary Iran indicates that cognition of history of Governmentality transition (rational mentality of the State), has serious impact on mentality of social forces towards government. Iranian constitutional revolution had created first doubts about monarchical state and took traditional images about it under question. However, social and political disorders and anarchies at the period of post-constitutional revolution, reformed “governance crisis”, bounded will of transition in governmental rationality and moving to new governmental rationality. This new governmental rationality, reinforced situation for reappearance of totalitarian structure in Reza Shah discipline. Consequently, a new mentalities of monarchy had been affected clergy image and convinced them to adhere sympathetically for revival of absolute government as well as their sympathy for liberty and law in the years of constitutional revolution. Therefore, Iran social and political changes could be modeled in Graph of Sine which is full of willingness to change or acceptance of the authoritarian state. Main question of the article is that: what evolutions clergy mentality has experienced toward Monarchy, as the legitimate state, at the period of post-constitutional revolution? The main hypothesis, in the framework of Foucault concept of “Govern mentality”, is that clergy mentality of Monarchy legitimacy has been experienced three phases: adherence, criticism, and finally opposition. Accordingly, main goal of the article is to discover transition of clergy mentality of Monarchy, from post-constitutional revolution to Islamic Revolution.
