چکیده:
The issue of Islamic unity is one of the fundamental values that has occupied a massive portion of Islamic knowledge and teachings and has always been present throughout the turbulent history of Islam. Like many other values, various definitions and interpretations have been offered for it. However, during the Umayyad and Abbasid eras, we witness a series of opposing currents interpreted as incompatibility (as opposed to unity or harmony), such that we observe the increasing growth of this current during this period through the utilization of ethnic and religious documents to compensate for lost legitimacy and acceptance. Therefore, in this essay, the existing connection between the surge and expansion of incompatibilities or their decline and stagnation with the level of legitimacy, health, moderation, and tolerance of governments (from the beginning of Islam to the end of the Abbasid era) is addressed. It is hoped that it can be an effective step toward explaining some of the historical realities.
