The Quranic School movement, founded by Ahmad Muftizadeh in the 1970s, was a response to the intellectual and political crises faced by the Sunni world and Kurdish society. The movement aimed to build a religious government and a religious subject, offering a solution to the epistemological challenges of the time. This research, using a Foucauldian genealogical method, examines the process of constructing the religious subject, i.e. subjectivation, in the Quranic School and aims to answer the question: "What criteria did the Quranic School, within its regime of truth, set for the interactions of the school's subject with others in the school?" The findings indicate that by establishing its own regime of truth, the Quranic School set up particular ethical, intellectual, and cultural criteria for the interaction of the school's subject with Muslims and non-Muslims (ahl al-fatrah [people of the interval], unbelievers, and hypocrites).
Keywords: religious subject, Maktab-e Quran, Ahmad Mufizadeh, Foucault, regime of truth
