Unity and concord are fundamental principles in Islam that have a profound impact on the individual and social life of Muslims. Given the necessity to prevent discord and fragmentation within the Islamic community, it is essential to examine the importance of unity and concord in the Holy Qur’an and the traditions of the Infallibles (Ahl al-Bayt), as well as the causes of collective unity and its effects. Accordingly, this study employs a descriptive methodology to elucidate the concepts of unity and concord, their causes, and their effects within the framework of Qur’anic teachings and the narrations of the Infallibles (as). The findings indicate that the realization of unity and concord not only strengthens security, resolves disputes, and fosters solidarity in the Muslim community, but also paves the way for achieving higher human objectives. The effects include the enhancement of dignity, the promotion of welfare, individual and social growth, and the realization of an Islamic civilization.
