This study examines the concept of ulil amri from the perspective of Sunni and Shia interpretations through a comparative study of Abu al-Hasan al-Mawardi's book An-Nukat wa al-'Uyun and Muhammad Husain Thabathaba'i's book Al-Mizan fi Tafsir al-Qur'an. The research focuses on the interpretation of Surah An-Nisa', verses 59 and 83, which relate to leadership authority in Islam. This study aims to analyze the similarities, differences, and background of the two interpreters' thinking in understanding the concept of ulil amri. The method used is library research with a qualitative-comparative approach. Primary data comes from both books, while secondary data is obtained from books, journals, and literature relevant to the interpretation of Islamic politics and the concept of leadership. The data analysis techniques used are descriptive-analytical and comparative. The results show that Al-Mawardi defines ulil amri as leaders, scholars, and holders of government authority who must be obeyed as long as they do not conflict with sharia. This interpretation is based on the Sunni political paradigm, which emphasizes social stability and legitimacy of leadership through deliberation. Meanwhile, Tabataba'i interprets ulil amri as the Imam of the Ahlul Bayt, who possesses religious and political authority and is infallible, in accordance with the Imamate doctrine in Imami Shia theology. This study concludes that differences in interpretation of ulil amri are influenced by the theological background, interpretive methodology, and construction of political thought of each interpreter.
