Abstract

Discourse of poximity of religions is one of the most important strategies of the Islamic Republic of Iran regarding the Islamic world. The important question of this research is whether the mentioned discourse will be effective in the second step of the Islamic Revolution with the same coordinates as before or not? With an analytical approach to the history of discourse, we find that the success of this discourse in the second step is possible if it can review and pathologize in accordance with the requirements of the new Islamic civilization of the past. The research findings prove that reductionism, minimal understanding of the issue of unity and ultimately the non-approximation of seminaries in the Islamic world are the most important harms of the discourse of approximation of religions that need to be corrected in the second step of the Islamic Revolution.

دراسة تشخیصیة لخطاب التقریب بین المذاهب

Abstract [العربیة]

یعتبر خطاب التقریب بین المذاهب أحد أهمّ إستراتیجیات الجمهوریة الإسلامیة الإیرانیة فیما یتعلّق بالعالم الإسلامی. السؤال المهم فی هذا البحث هو هل سیکون الخطاب المذکور فعّالاً أیضاً بنفس الإحداثیات السابقة فی الخطوة الثانیة للثورة الإسلامیة أم لا؟ ونجد بمقاربة تحلیلیة فی تاریخ خطاب التقریب أنّ نجاح هذا الخطاب فی الخطوة الثانیة ممکن إذا ما استطاع وفقاً لمتطلّبات الحضارة الإسلامیة الحدیثة أن یُخضع ماضیه للمراجعة والتشخیص. وقد کشفت النتائج عن أنّ الاختزالیة وفهم الحدّ الأدنى لقضیة الوحدة وفی نهایة المطاف افتقاد المدارس العلمیة فی العالم الإسلامی للتقریب جمیعها من أهمّ المعوّقات أمام خطاب التقریب بین المذاهب ویلزم إزالتها فی الخطوة الثانیة للثورة الإسلامیة.
