The fundamental issues of a knowledge are often answered and explained in the philosophy of that knowledge. The question of the essence of the society is also a question that the philosophy of the social sciences is concerned. Throughout history, many scientists have sought to answer this question, but little has been achieved. Muslim scholars have also sought to explain the essence of society by identifying the relevant words in the Holy Qur'an and identifying the characteristics of the words, but this does not seem to be useful either. This article, while explaining and criticizing the definitions of society from the perspective of Qur'anic thinkers, seeks to find out the definition of society from the perspective of the Holy Qur'an. The Holy Qur'an summarizes the common point which leads to the emergence of society in the word of “Wilayah” and mentions a kind of transcendental relationship between individuals based on faith or infidelity and their related actions, referred to in this study as social guardianship. The present article, which has been documented in a descriptive-analytical and inferential way with an inferential interpretation method, argues that in explaining what society is, the Qur'an first considers the essence of society spiritual and not dependent on geography, tribe, race, and language and secondly, according to the Holy Qur'an, society refers to a set of human beings who together have a social guardianship based on vision and actions consistent with faith or disbelief.

Max Weber's approach as a sociologist is classified in the category of sociological micro-approaches, and his explanation of various phenomena is an objective co-explanation. Paying attention to the individual and explaining based on considering the position of the individual in the society has shown itself even in his opinion about the development of religion in the society. This article is written with the aim of understanding the criticisms obtained from the point of view of Morteza Motahari about Max Weber's views on the issue of the development of religion. It is written in an exploratory, descriptive and critical method, has reached this finding that religion is not a phenomenon with the origin in atheism, humanism or society, so that due to the changes and transformations of conditions and time, it needs to evolve and conform to the conditions. Comprehensiveness and compatibility of religion with reality are two basic elements for religion that prove it doesn't confront substantive changes. Also, the nature of religion has not changed in the course of history so that religion needs to be completed. The elements of all divine religions are the same, and no change has been made in these elements, so as to create the suspicion of change, transformation and evolution in religion. The Qur'an's point of view regarding the development of religion is an integrated point of view. That is, from the beginning of the creation of the first man to the last creature, this religion has been accompanied by Allah almighty with the aim of ensuring the happiness of the this world and the afterlife world with man and human society, and since the goal is the same, religion has also been comprehensive of this goal from the beginning until now.

Social issues and looking at different aspects of human being with collective identity have a special place in the thought and writings of Allameh Tabatabai. The structured mind of this distinguished Islamic thinker has led to the design and discussion of the foundations and structures of the creation and movement of human society; In such a way that social thinking can be considered one of the weight points of his religious thought. The present study, using a descriptive-analytical method, follows Allameh Tabatabai's thought foundations in discussing the origin of human society and the type of communication between them. The results of the research show that the mechanism of forming human society, the origin of sociality, the creation of restrictions on individual freedom, collective cooperation, the enactment of law and the formation and establishment of government and the way of governance, as the foundations and presuppositions of building human society in thought. Allameh has a systematic relationship and, like the seeds of a chain, they have formed a strong thread in the context of the occurrence and survival of human society. This structured look at social topics and issues has brought Allameh into thinking in the field of social life. In his social thoughts, he believes in building society from the context and from the bottom up, and the pyramid of power, despite its importance, is the second priority in his thoughts on social issues and governance.

The concept of Islamic monotheistic society is an objective and practical reflection of monotheistic theoretical dimensions in the field of economic, political and social relations of society. In fact, with the emergence and transfer of modernity and social ideas branching from it to the Islamic world, contemporary Muslim thinkers, with different procedures and approaches, did more research and extracted more social dimensions of the concept of monotheism from the center of its theoretical dimensions; Hence, the role of these theoretical dimensions in drawing objective social relations is very important. The purpose of this article is to investigate the same dimensions in the thought of one of the Muslim social thinkers related to the approach of Islamic intellectuals and modern thinking in Iran, namely Dr. Ali Shariati (1933-1977); a thinker who in the field of sociological study about Islam and focus on the concept of monotheistic society, both in the years before the Islamic Revolution of Iran and in the years after; has had a great impact on Iranian Intellectual and social groups. The article was done in a theoretical, analytical, documentary and library method and during the research it was tried to explain and analyze the concept of monotheism and the theoretical dimensions derived from it, such as monotheistic worldview, monotheistic ideology, monotheistic anthropology, etc. in Dr. Ali Shariati's thought.

Human group is one of the most important social phenomena. Molavi in Masnavi, has repeatedly referred to the concept of social group and recommended group conduct to his disciples and audiences. What Molavi has stated about the group is highly dynamic and his ideas can be applied and localized as theoretical knowledge. In this paper, we attempt to study Molavi's views on the social group, using an analytical- descriptive method to address three questions; first, what are the criteria for forming a group? second, what are the benefits of a group? and third, what are the weaknesses of a group? After reviewing Molavi's verses cited in Masnavi, it can be concluded that from Molavi's view, similarity of a number of people result in formation of a social group and benefits of groups are necessity of crossing the path, obeying religious decrees, and overcoming disappointment. In addition, according to Molavi, vulnerabilities of a social group include disloyalty of members of the group, not having a holy purpose, unknowing leader, and accompanying ignorant and indecent people.

Discussion over fundamentality of society has always been one of the most important issues in social sciences which can be brought to light in the realm of philosophy of sociology as well as philosophy of social sciences. Among classic Islamic scholars, such discussions can be traced back to Abu-Nasr Farabi, Khaja Nasiruddin Tousi, Ikhvanul Safa, and Ibn Khaldun. Among contemporary Muslim thinkers, Allama Tabatabaei, Ayatullah Motahari, Ayatullah Mohammad Baqer Sadr, Ayatullah Javadi Amoli, and Ayatullah Misbah Yazdi have been the most influential writers in the field. This paper will discuss the viewpoints of Ayatullah Motahari and Ayatullah Misbah Yazdi. The author’s aim is to explain the views of these two contemporary Islamic thinkers on fundamentality of society using a philosophical and critical perspective.
