Shams al-Din was deeply devoted to Amal movement which was somehow a non-ideological, moderate and nationalist organization; so, he was not happy with Iran's support of Hizbullah which sought a political-revolutionary transnational project and also the separation of Amal movement. Following the fights between Hizbullah and Amal, Shams al-Din proposed the theory of Wilaya of Umma upon themselves against the theory of Wilaya of Fqih. After proposing his theory, he changed his mind regarding his negative position he had proposed about the democracy he mentioned in his book ''Nizam al-hukm wa al-idara fi l-Islam'' and in the preface of the new edition of the book in 1411/1990, he declared that in the first edition, he believed in the opposition of democracy with Islam but now he believes that during the [[Occultation|Occultation of the Infallible Imam (a)]], democracy is the criterion of validity of the political system and exertion of people's will is based on the existence of democratic mechanisms. | Shams al-Din was deeply devoted to Amal movement which was somehow a non-ideological, moderate and nationalist organization; so, he was not happy with Iran's support of Hizbullah which sought a political-revolutionary transnational project and also the separation of Amal movement.
