In accordance with a verse from Surah 'Al-An'am', he refers to this subject; that division and disagreement in religion is an ominous phenomenon whose adverse effects engulf all individuals and burn both the wet and the dry together. Throughout this writing, the author also considers such division in religion as a cause of material and spiritual loss for the individuals of society. The author, in the final section of the article, speaks about the indicators of a religious and Islamic society and provides numerous examples of issues that have occurred throughout Islamic history to clarify the situation of religious government during the time of the Prophet (PBUH) or Hazrat Ali (AS), etc. By relying on the events that occurred at that time and appropriate verses and narrations, he enumerates the qualities of religious and especially Islamic government, because he introduces Islam as the only complete and superior religion and considers Islamic democracy to be very different from Western democracy. Therefore, the author's expectation from an Islamic society, according to the Quranic model, is highly spiritual, and he intends to provide solutions towards creating a desirable religious government.
