Abstract

Governance in Islamic thought is based on the macro theory of the "ummah" and has defined the horizon of sovereignty in Islamic societies. Therefore, the issue of ummah and ummatism has always been considered in a special way in the life of the Messenger of God (PBUH) and the Imams (AS). The present study is organized around the answer to the question of what are the requirements for the realization of the process of nationalism from the point of view of Imam Askari (AS)? the present article uses a descriptive-analytical method, while analyzing concepts such as ummah, unity and nationalism and the hypothesis of Imam Askari's (AS) approach to the central idea of nationalism as a fixed principle in interaction with different currents, to examine the requirements of this important perspective. That Imam pays. Requirements for the realization of the process of identifying the idea of nationalism in the life of that Imam include "peaceful coexistence with love and tolerance", "non-divergence with the caliphs", "creating solidarity and internal discourse of Muslims based on common Islamic principles", "boycotting heretics", "denying violence" And "innocence of the oppressors" is led by the divine Imamate. Her emphasis as a religious leader on the issue of nationalism in theory and practice can be considered as a strategic model in creating a single nation in the current situation of the Islamic world.(feminine)
