Abstract
The Holy Quran considers the formation of a community free from differences necessary for the realization of the global government of the era of revelation, and in many verses the principle of "difference" in religion has been condemned; but differences in nature, customs, beliefs, and practices have an innate origin. On the other hand, the Prophet considered the unity of the community as the highest interest based on the Quran. Therefore, the present article introduces the strategies of the Prophet for unification in the Islamic society using a descriptive-analytical method and library data collection. The research community is the Holy Quran and the statistical sample is 43 verses related to unity. The findings of the research, citing 43 verses of the Quran on unity, including 11 verses on the necessity of creating a single nation in the Quran, 9 verses on the effects of unity in society, 10 verses on the theoretical strategies of the Prophet on unity, which include attention to the Kaaba, the ideal of monotheism, the miracle of the Quran, and 13 verses on the practical strategies of the Prophet, including the constitution of Medina, negation of ethnic and racial discrimination, creation of social belonging, Arab prejudice, reform of the nature of the introvert, exploitation of the bravery and fearlessness of the Arabs, exploitation of the hospitality of the Arabs, attention to the disadvantaged, and the tolerance and tolerance of the Prophet, show that the Prophet's maximum use of practical strategies of unity indicates the greater impact of this group of strategies in the propagation and spread of Islam.
