Reading in the thought of Imam Ali The philosophy of dialogue and the unity of the nation,

Abstract

This study is taken from the doctoral thesis that I prepared in the year 2000 at the University of Bordeaux in France under the title “ Ali bin Abi Talib Imam and Calif “. This thesis was prepared as a continuation of what the French orientalism Louis Massignon wrote about Islam and his student Henry Corbin, who introduced Europeans to Shiism. This study represents the philosophy of dialogue and the unity of the Islamic Emma as one of the most important methods used by Imam Ali.

Imam Ali established the most beautiful, creative, and most complete rules of human dialogue that preserve the unity of the nation’s fabric and preserves human dignity. Imam Ali referred to basic principles foundations to reach this goals, including: giving priority to the opinion of the majority and respecting the opinion of the minority towards it, and having a good belief in the other and revealing the truth, and dialogue is a talk of faith, not a talk of atonement and talk of knowledge, not a talk of insulting and contempt.
