Abstract: (17 Views) |
| The concept of achieving one united nation has been a subject of great importance among scholars and religious leaders in human societies. In their view, the foundation of unity under the "one nation" concept lies in divine guidance, worship of the Creator, and adherence to the commands of God. Although this concept is of great significance in its own right, the verses related to the idea of a united nation often lack attention to the precise meaning of the "one nation" and the unifying principles hidden within these verses. According to the author, what should be emphasized in the concept of a united nation is the core of unity itself. It is important to identify the focus of unity when God emphasizes the concept of one nation, and likewise, when the emphasis is on disunity, we need to understand the underlying principle being addressed. In this article, a new perspective is presented, which seems to have been overlooked by most interpreters. This perspective introduces the concept of a unifying principle or a single law governing all human beings. This means that whenever the term "one nation" is mentioned, one of these two concepts must immediately be identified and defined. This article refers to five key aspects of unity or the singular law governing all human beings from the beginning of creation to the Day of Judgment. |
