Abstract
Islam is a social religion. The organization of human existence is such that it must live in a community; But in addition to the necessity of social life, the integration of societies is also one of the undeniable necessities of the Islamic world. In this article, the author, assuming that the nature of Muslim relations is very similar to the era of the Prophet (instead of tribal identities, multiple national identities structure their socio-political life), has tried to explain the formation of the great Islamic nation through a mechanism of social cohesion. The article was organized by descriptive-analytical method (including semantic analysis) of Ulfat's place in the convergence of the Islamic world and concluded that first of all, Ulfat's special place in the conceptual network consisting of the words love, affection, brotherhood and ummah indicates that There is a similarity between Ulfat and Convergence. Secondly, focusing on the semantic implications and process uses of the word, the intended convergence of the Qur'an is based on similarity and similarity on the one hand, and on the division of social work on the other; Because the root of affection goes back to love, and love is the necessary stimulus to meet mutual needs and, consequently, to differentiate and divide social work. As a result, if Ulfat by emphasizing commonalities, expanding relations, strengthening positive attitudes, meeting mutual needs, and strengthening empathy, become the basis of action (both social and political) the grounds for integration in the Islamic world will be strengthened.
