Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Principles of Sociology in Islam Introduction In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. A vital need in human society is fraternity and cordial relation between individuals. The basic problem of the world today is not of bread and butter but that of empathy in individuals as well as in society. How to maintain relations with each other is a problem which is worrying the countries of the world as well as the individuals.

As regards peaceful co-existence, neither any remedial measure can be adopted nor any result achieved without writing and discussion in this field. The flames of war are engulfing different parts of the world every day, devastating human lives and rendering families helpless and destitute. Even minor differences between persons of one town, quarter or a family lead to such complications.

To be exact, unless human relations based on faith and nationality are not created, this problem will remain unsolved and the disease incurable. Islam, which is a divine heavenly code, can solve this problem by bringing people together through faith in God, purification of the soul and preservation of humanity. Islam is a comprehensive code of life which, if really followed, may lead human society to the zenith of glory.

Islam wants to acquaint people with the fact that all human beings are the offspring of the same parents and that there is no class distinction between one and another: black and white, colour and skin can never be criteria of greatness of one class over the other. Likewise difference in languages and style of speech cannot upgrade any nation. According to Islamic law, the only criterion of individual or collective supremacy is faith and piety, knowledge and wisdom.
