Convergence of religious classification in Islamic teachings

Abstract

Classified structure is one of the social structures that has many different kinds based on gender, religion, and nations. The differences and competitions among these different classes often cause problems and challenges in the society. For this reason, the relations between these classes and their interactions have attracted the attentions of the sociologists. The study of those verses of the Holy Quran that are related to different levels of faith (Imaan), shows that a classified structure of religion is accepted in the Islamic society, at the same time, the recommendation of the religious leaders about the interaction of these classes is so that, they all invite it toward religious convergence and not toward divergence. Some of these recommendations are: the awareness of Muslims about the naturalness of these classes, the awareness of Muslims about the class they belong to, having a realistic view about the potentialities and capacities of the lower classes, andpotentialities and capacities of the lower classes, and avoiding from having a YY^ m (J*»iJfol 5 JUojuS^. despising point of view toward the lower classes and an attempt for their promotion. The writer of this article has done this, with the help of a saying (Hadith) from Imam Sadegh (P.B.U.H).
