Abstract:
Islamic unity means emphasizing and relying on the commonalities of Islamic religions by not presenting conflicting views. In general, the two words unity, what comes to mind from the word approximation, are closeness and approximation; However, these two words do not seem to be synonymous, as they are usually the religious views of Muslims and the attempt to reduce differences, as well as the scientific efforts made at the Egyptian Academy and the summit is the general meaning of unity. Is a proof of this. But what comes to mind from the word unity is usually that it includes various aspects of cooperation between Muslims. Resolving differences and doubts, active, effective and timely presence of scholars and thinkers, bowing to religious rites and strengthening moral values can increase the basis of unity in the field of religion and culture. Creating unity will require an intellectual and cultural background, the creation of a single Islamic government can provide the ground for realization. In the field of economics, the development and strengthening of economic relations, strengthening the tourism industry and the integration of the banking system in Islamic countries can be effective, and this indicates the need for the presence of political and economic experts along with religious experts. The question that arises here is what is the effect of the Association of Islamic Religions on the unity and cohesion of Islamic countries? The hypothesis is that returning to religion and promoting it is one of the strategies emphasized by the Summit. The founders of the Summit believe that unity among Muslims depends on their intellect and attitude. The task that Muslims have towards each other is to achieve Islamic brotherhood and brotherhood, and the task that they have against the enemies is to become one. The research method of this research is analytical and descriptive.
Machine summary:
Generally, the two words unity and approximation are synonyms; however, it seems that these two words may not be synonymous, because what usually comes to mind from the word approximation is the closeness of the religious views of Muslims and the effort to reduce differences, as well as the scientific efforts carried out in Dar al-Taqrib in Egypt and the World Assembly for the Approximation of Islamic Schools of Thought in Iran, which testify to this matter.
A very important point is that all scholars and pioneers do not have differences of opinion in these matters; for the pioneers of the approximation of Islamic schools of thought to be successful in this task, they must proceed to hold conferences and meetings and make proper use of them for scientific discourse and exchange of views, emphasizing the necessity of approximating Islamic schools of thought, providing a correct definition of the category of approximation of Islamic schools of thought, raising the level of public awareness about the effects of approximation and the consequences of religious differences, issuing convergence fatwas, adopting common policies, and identifying factors of disagreement, proposing the theory of globalization in line with Islam, presenting plans, slogans, and symbols of cohesion, emphasis and focus on mysticism and spirituality, solutions for Islamic governments, raising religious awareness and religious teachings, observing the rights of religious minorities, prevention and condemnation of extremist actions, solutions for intellectual institutions in the culture of disagreement, the ethical foundations in the culture of disagreement are the research that has been conducted.
