Abstract

This article intends to explain the role of avoiding division and cooperation of Islamic countries in establishing a single Islamic nation. The first axis of the article emphasizes the role of avoiding separatism and aggression against each other in the Islamic world, and the second axis is the cooperation that must be achieved in the Islamic world in order to achieve a single Islamic nation. These two axes are the first steps that must be taken to achieve a single Islamic nation. Avoiding division includes avoiding the five main causes of division in the Islamic Ummah, namely war, terror, Takfir (excommunication from Islamic Ummah), conflict and controversy. Cooperation between Islamic countries includes two topics of confronting the common enemy, and benevolence and friendship with Muslims. Each of these two axes has components that are described in this article. In each case, after the description, the textual evidence of each of them is discussed. In addition, an attempt has been made to present the evidence of the promise obtained in the words of Imam Khomeini and Imam Khamenei.
