“Studying the Relation of Aversion and Islamic Unity and the ways for their Compatibility”

Necessity of unity and solidarity of the Islamic Ummah is and out of argument; but accomplishment of unity, needs theoretical and practical steps such as recognizing its relationship with other religious categories. The principle of Friendship and Aversion is one of the religious categories emphasized in the Holy Koran and Islamic traditions. Aversion toward the enemies of Islam and Friendship toward friends and their followers are agreed with all Islamic sects. However the issue of Aversion has encountered many challenges in some its inter-religious referents and it will endanger the obvious issue of unity if be not explained properly. So it can be said that the most serious obstacles to the realization and consolidation of Islamic unity are extreme approaches of some of the Shiites to some referents of Aversion. The Shiites believe that the Aversion is incompatible with Islamic unity and a Shiite person who adheres to perform principle of Aversion cannot be correlated with other Islamic sects. So aiming at eliminating an obstacle to the implementation and consolidation of Islamic unity, in this thesis, it is attempted to study the relation between Aversion and Unity and offer some solutions in order to create their consistency, through “analytical – descriptive” method. Through studying Aversion and Islamic unity and their relationship, we notice that not only there is no conflict between consistency to principle of Aversion and realization of Solidarity among Muslims, but also these two principles are back and belly of each other in some cases. In a way that one of the results of Aversion is realization of Islamic unity against the enemies of Islam.  Therefore on the one hand, Islam invites Muslims to unity and cohesion and on the other hand calls them to avert the enemies of religion. However, adherence to Aversion has some considerations and through observing them we can achieve unity of the Islamic Ummah. Considerations such as compliance with the aversion, the separation of the religious opposition from the enemy, to avoid cursing disclose specific names and comply with the requirements of disclosing the aversion. Observing these considerations and using some solution that is mentioned in this thesis, you can establish compatibility between the aversion and unity
