This article explores the role of revealed knowledge in the formation and guidance of Islamic social systems from the perspective of Al-Farabi. As one of the most prominent Islamic philosophers, Al-Farabi emphasizes the importance of revelation as the primary source of societal guidance and seeks to establish a synergistic relationship between revealed and rational knowledge. In his theory of the "Virtuous City," he presents revealed knowledge as a divine source for directing society towards justice, social cohesion, and happiness. This study analyzes Al-Farabi’s thoughts on social systems, examining the impacts of revealed knowledge on the key components of Islamic society. It also references historical examples of implementing revealed principles during the Islamic Caliphate and provides a comparative analysis of Islamic and non-Islamic social systems. The findings indicate that Al-Farabi regards revealed knowledge as essential for the establishment of laws and social structures and believes that community leaders must possess this knowledge to effectively guide society towards perfection. Simultaneously, he underscores the importance of integrating revealed knowledge with human rationality. This study further offers suggestions for future research on the role of revealed knowledge in contemporary societies and investigates its impacts on the social and political structures of Islamic communities.

This article provides a cognitive analysis of the concepts of insight and certainty in Islamic mysticism and examines their impact on the process of spiritual self-development. By referencing the works of great mystics such as Ibn Arabi, Rumi, Suhrawardi, Attar of Nishapur, and Ghazali, the vital role of these two concepts in the mystical journey is elucidated. Insight is described as a divine light that illuminates the seeker's heart, guiding them toward hidden truths. Certainty is depicted as a state of inner confidence and tranquility that frees the individual from doubt and hesitation, granting stability and steadfastness on the spiritual path. The findings indicate that insight and certainty influence behaviors, personal ethics, inner peace, and spiritual coherence, thereby assisting the seeker in the path of spiritual self-cultivation. A comparative analysis of the mystics' viewpoints reveals that these two concepts are complementary and, through their interaction, guide individuals toward spiritual perfection. Finally, the importance of utilizing the teachings of Islamic mysticism regarding insight and certainty to address the spiritual and psychological challenges of contemporary humanity is emphasized, and suggestions for future research are presented.

The divine test is one of the fundamental concepts in the Holy Qur'an, playing a crucial role in the spiritual and moral development of individuals and society. This article employs a descriptive and analytical approach to deeply examine the concept of the divine test in the Qur'an and its impacts on personal and social life. Various sections of the paper analyze key verses related to the divine test and interpret them through the perspectives of prominent exegetes such as Tabari, Fakhr al-Din al-Razi, Zamakhshari, and Allameh Tabataba'i. The findings indicate that, on an individual level, the divine test leads to strengthened faith, patience, gratitude, and the development of moral virtues. These tests act as tools for soul purification and spiritual education, empowering individuals to face life's challenges and difficulties. On a social level, the divine test contributes to enhanced social cohesion, justice, cooperation, and empathy among community members. Collective encounters with divine tests increase social responsibility and collaboration in solving common problems. Furthermore, the critique and evaluation of different exegetical viewpoints reveal that while each scholar approaches the concept of the divine test from varied perspectives, integrating these views can lead to a more comprehensive and profound understanding. The article concludes with suggestions for future research, including comparative studies of the divine test concept across different religions and psychological analyses of its effects.

In the contemporary world, spiritual and social crises, driven by rapid cultural, economic, and technological changes, have emerged as significant challenges for societies. These crises not only affect individuals' mental health and quality of life but also undermine social foundations, leading to the disintegration of collective norms and increasing inequalities. In this context, religious knowledge serves as a crucial spiritual resource that can effectively address these crises. This paper employs a narrative review method with descriptive analysis to examine the role of religious knowledge in mitigating spiritual and social crises. The theoretical background indicates that religion, through the promotion of ethical values and social principles, can enhance social cohesion and stability, while also assisting individuals in finding meaning and purpose in life. However, religious knowledge faces challenges such as secularism, globalization, and postmodern critiques, which can diminish its societal role. Conversely, opportunities exist for reinforcing the role of religion by revisiting core religious teachings, leveraging modern communication technologies, and fostering inter-cultural and inter-religious dialogues. This study analyzes case studies and authoritative religious sources to demonstrate that, by capitalizing on these opportunities and addressing existing challenges, the role of religious knowledge in combating contemporary crises can be significantly strengthened. The findings underscore the necessity of adapting religious teachings to contemporary needs and highlight strategies for policymakers and researchers to enhance the positive impact of religion on social and spiritual resilience. Ultimately, this research contributes to the understanding of how religious knowledge can foster a sustainable and cohesive society amidst ongoing global challenges.

This article analyzes the concepts of social cohesion and psychological security in the Quran using sociological theories.

The results indicate that the Quran emphasizes the importance of social cohesion and psychological security through unity, social solidarity, faith, and remembrance of God. Similarly, sociological theories underscore the significance of these concepts in maintaining social order and enhancing mental health. Finally, practical strategies for strengthening social cohesion and improving psychological security in Islamic communities are proposed. Recommendations for future research and interdisciplinary studies are also provided to further knowledge development in this field.

Following the invasion by the people of al-Sham on Kufa and the indifference of the Iraqis to the looting, Ali (AS) considered the two components of "religion and loyalty" to be the cause of social integration, the lack of which has led to disunity in the Iraqi army. The division of Iraqis is revealed by looking at the united and submissive society of al-Sham. The reason for the obedience of the Shamians has always been discussed and disputed; However, whether religion and humility as a definitive and universal law have caused unity in Umayyad Syria needs to be analyzed and investigated. This research has identified the concept of religion and Hami’at (zeal) through a descriptive-analytical method and investigated the factors involved in the existing harmony in the Levant. The result of the study show that Muawiyah, knowing the pre-Islamic beliefs of the people of al=Sham developed the religion and zeal of the people in line with his goals. Relying on these two components, he formed Ottomanist and urban supremacist streams of thought and took advantage of the power of these two streams of thought.

Nowadays, the purification of human societies from multiplicity and reduction of destructive conflicts and militancy has been the focus of many thinkers with diverse approaches, and peaceful and reconciliation efforts are in search of effective strategies to achieve social solidarity. The main goal of this research is to explain the components of social solidarity by finding effective, contextual, inhibiting variables and consequences in the form of a systematic model. This research is fundamental based on the type of purpose and is qualitative in terms of method and has an inductive approach. For this purpose, by using the data base theory, after collecting the collection of Imam Riḍā's narrations, macro and micro ethical categories of the model are extracted and then the model of social solidarity is presented. The findings show that the realization of social solidarity requires attention to several categories. In this context, ethics, friendship, self-control, forgiveness, peaceful coexistence and providing security are the most important effective variables; and humility, helping others, tolerance and responsibility are the most important foundational categories. The inhibiting variables in this model are: unregulated interaction, spread of corruption, discord, and family breaks. The main consequence of social solidarity is the promotion of dignity and social empowerment.

The type of interactions of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) with others is very important. Observance of ethics in the life is one of the most important behavioral characteristics of the Prophet (PBUH). The main question of the article is what was the moral Sira of the Prophet (PBUH) and her behavior towards others? and did prophetic ethics have an effect on people's convergence and social solidarity? The analysis of the Primary sources, especially the sources of History, Sira and Ḥadīth, and the use of the descriptive-analytical method show that the observance of ethics and moral affairs was of particular importance in the life of the Prophet (PBUH). The Prophet (PBUH) respected all people, and did not see himself as separate from people. He was a tolerant person and forgave those who mistreated him. The Prophet (PBUH) respected equality in dealing with people, and no one was superior to others in his opinion, except for having piety (taqwā). Observance of these matters has attracted people to him and has been effective in the formation of a Unified Islamic Ummah. The disputes that arose after the death of the Prophet (PBUH) in the Islamic society regarding the succession, although it could create a serious challenge in social solidarity, but the management of the situation by Imam Ali (AS) removed this serious danger.

One of the important issues which should be considered about the social system is factors of social solidarity, in this article analyses the system of solidarity in the administrative ideas of Imam Ali (A.S.) and its comparison with the theory of social solidarity of Emil Durkheim. Imam Ali (A.S.) in 36 AH, with the people's vote, took over the government in a situation where the social system was fragmented and divided. Therefore, the creation of solidarity at different levels of society seemed to be necessary. Similarities between creating solidarity in Imam Ali (A.S.) approach and Nahj al-Balaghah are evident. He tried to create a new direction in solidarity by redefining and organizing concepts such as society, rights, human beings, justice, politics, ummah, and a single ummah. Among sociological theorists, Emile Durkheim was the first who studied the theory of correlation and its role in society and provided a theoretical framework. In this research, which was done in an analytical-documentary way, it was indicated that according to the raised issues. However, there are differences in theoretical aspects between the ideas of Imam Ali (A.S.) and Emil Durkheim, but in the correlation dimension, there are common characteristics. The main indicator of the difference is that in his ruling position, Imam Ali tried to promote the society of his time towards organic solidarity, he also used to pay attention to the division of social work. In Imam Ali's (AS) thought, Islamic values, especially the concept of justice, have always been meaningful, and based on it, a kind of solidarity is formed in society. In Durkheim's view, it is the collective conscience that can lead to social solidarity.

The key concern of the present article is to answer the question that what does the Holy Qurān mean by advancement and through which – mainly – qualitative and structural indexes – apt for social analyses – one can understand and explain it.
