Unity and solidarity are the needs of humans. A need that begins from a small area of the family flew to the village to the country and the whole world. The more unity is strengthened, the more the results are meaningful and make sense. As it is experienced the success and victory of the nations are due to their unity and solidarity. The question posed is that what are the ways for permanent and stable unity? From where to begin? How can you rank and prioritize the solidarities rules and formulas? These questions have been responded differently. Usually, political leaders and influential personalities try to reach unity through seminars, printing mottoes on banners and running demonstrations. However, none of the aforementioned issues can be fruitful, because all of them are temporary and short-lasting. Islam religion presents unity to its followers without any tricks and misleading. Using physically easy and simple but originally very strengthened and application everywhere every time. Despite today’s leaders try to begin unity from the higher level of leadership, Islam begins it from persons and individuals. Society is made of these individuals, on the other hand; Islam tries to connect hearts. It is whatever we can find its sample in none of the other thinking schools around the world. It is because all other schools only focused on the physical form of unity and their vision on solidarity is shallow and they cannot create a permanent unity at all. Creating kindness and enthusiasm among hearts which are the bases of unity and solidarity is only in unique studies Islam. “And brought together their hearts. If you had spent all that is in the earth, you could not have brought their hearts together; but Allah brought them together. Indeed, He is exalted in Might and Wise” (Al-Anfal, verse 63).
