Using descriptive-analytical method, this paper has analyzed the thoughts and exegetical works of contemporary Islamic scholars (14th century) of the Qom seminary regarding the issue of "religious sovereignty". The research aims to explain the religious sovereignty in the thoughts and exegetical works of the scholars and to present their position on this issue. To this end, the paper tried to figure out, analyze and explain the exegetical achievements of these thinkers as the six indicators of religious sovereignty: 1. Religious sovereignty as the sovereignty of justice and values; 2. Relationship between religion and politics; 3. The necessity of government; 4. Government legitimacy; 5. The popularity of government; 6. Government structure. The research results show that the outcome of thoughts of contemporary Islamic scholars of the Qom seminary in the interpretation of the Qur’anic verses related to religious sovereignty has both positive and negative aspects. On the negative side, the interpretation of these thinkers is as follows: controversy, criticism and negation of the legitimacy of the political system and the foundations of tyrannical rule. On the positive side, the exegetical achievement of these thinkers includes explaining the components of religious and divine sovereignty and explaining its dimensions, especially in the era of the occultation of Imam Mahdi.
