Abstract
Seyed Jamaluddin Asadabadi, one of the thinkers of the contemporary century, lived in a time when foreigners dominated Islamic countries and the social conditions of Muslims were chaotic. His thoughts on the understanding and interpretation of the Qur'an are the beginning of a social approach and tendency, which is also referred to as the contemporary, guiding and educational tendency, and it is also a trend-setter and has a tremendous impact on the commentators after him. The main problem of this research is to retrieve and analyze the Quranic documents and data in Seyyed Jamal's works in order to reconstruct his Quranic thought about the principles of excellence of nations and the examples of an evolved nation. The findings of the research, which was carried out with analytical-descriptive method, show that Seyyed Jamal considers the first Ummah of Islam as a glorious and exalted Ummah and he is trying to restore the first Ummah by re-reading the verses of the Quran and attaining the means of exaltation of Ummah. The achievement of this research is the reconstruction of the fifteen principles of achieving a benchmark nation in two theoretical and behavioral fields. One of the important principles in Seyyed Jamal's thought is the position of scholars and commentators of the Qur'an, who, in addition to wisdom, expertise and scientific knowledge in theoretical issues, should also be included in the field of implementation. Scholars should first be aware of social challenges and try to solve them in various political, educational and social fields.
