    The Seventh Development Plan: A Two-Sided Orphan

    It is not at all surprising that no powerful organization or institution has taken responsibility for pursuing and overseeing the precise implementation of the Seventh Development Plan. In fact, many laws in the Islamic Republic are written merely to exist as laws, not to be implemented. There is a fundamental lack of coordination among the various institutions involved—such as the executive and employment sectors—and responsibilities remain ambiguous.

The Snapback Mechanism: The Outcome of the Battle of Siffin

The Battle of Siffin, which took place in the year 37 AH between the forces of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) and Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan, after several months of heavy fighting, was on the verge of Muawiya’s complete defeat. At this critical moment, the forces of Syria, through a cunning ruse (raising the Qur’an on spears), proposed arbitration to stop the war. Imam Ali (peace be upon him), with great reluctance but under intense pressure from his own troops, was forced to accept a ceasefire. This ceasefire turned into negotiations (arbitration) that had disastrous results for Imam Ali’s camp, leading to the emergence of a new faction known as the Kharijites and severely weakening Imam’s rule.
