The Ideal society: Ummah

yesterday evening I found a book by Dr. Ali Shari'ati in our ware room ,, as I found it something very worthy I decided to to share some parts of it with you my dear readers , the book is in farsi and the title is " Islam shenasi" which means Islamology :

The Ideal society of Islam is called umma. Umma includes different aspects like different culture and languages,different races and tribes. umma inspires dynamic and committed ideological social version.
the word umma derives from the root amm,which has the sense of intention and path. Therefore the umma is a society in which a number of individuals have got common faith and goal, come together in harmony with the intention of advancing and moving toward their common goal.
while other words for societies express the unity under blood and soil and they share the material benefit as the criterion of Society .
The basis of the Islamic social philosophy is the intellectual responsibility and shared movement towards a common goal regardless of blood and soil or materialistic benefits, Although the infrastructure of the umma is the economy because " whoever has no worldly life has no spiritual life."
Islamic social system is based on equity and justice and ownership by the people, which is the revival of the "system of Abel," the society of human equality and therefore the classless brotherhood. Islamic brotherhood is not like western social system which has kept the western bourgeoisie.
The political philosophy of Umma and the form of the regime of umma is not the democracy of heads, not irresponsible and the directionless liberalism which is a tool in hands of social forces, It is not rotten aristocracy , not anti-popular dictatorship, not a self -imposed oligarchy ,
It consists rather of the purity in leadership [not the leader,for that would be fascism], committed and revolutionary leadership.
Islamic regim of ummah is responsible for the movement and growth of the society towards the divine destiny of man .

Now my dear reader don't you think such leadership is the true meaning of IMAMATE??!!!


Yes,in my opinion, it is the true meaning of Imamate!(leadership of umma)


Please think about it and leave your comment ...what do you think of Islamic umma and the leadership?
