Abstract

Studying the concept of love in God and its philosophical dimensions requires extracting all the elements related to the subject, analyzing them, and understanding them in a realistic and abstract way in order to achieve the perspective indicated by Allama Al-Hilli regarding the great and influential historical figure in the course of human history, especially the history of Islamic societies across time and space. In this context, it can be said that human society is composed of objective components that crystallize its existence and interaction and build the components of its existence, the most important of which are:- The complex relationship between man and his fellow man- The complex relationship between man and nature Through the hadith that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: Whoever I am his master, then Ali is his master ().We can extract the elements of the relationship that lay in the conscience of the Messenger, may Gods prayers and peace be upon him, towards Ali bin Abi Talib, and Allama Al-Hilli referred to them in his book Uncovering Certainty in the Virtues of the Commander of the Faithful, where it was narrated that Abdullah bin Abi Talib said: When the Messenger of God looked - May Gods prayers and peace be upon him and his family - descending to mercy. He said: Pray for me, pray for me. Safiyya said: Who, O Messenger of God? He said: The people of my household are Ali, Fatima, Al-Hassan and Al-Hussein. Then he brought them and the Prophet - may Gods prayers and peace be upon him and his family and grant them peace - threw his cloak over them, then raised his hands and said: O God, these are my family, so bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad (), and from it God Almighty revealed his saying: God only desires to go away. uncleanness from you, O People of the Household, and He purifies you with a thorough purification (33)(). Considering that Islamic society, with its lines, relationships, and general trends, is affected, emerges, and interacts with the Quranic point of view and the Prophetic revelation, the roles of the components and elements of the components of Islamic society are naturally determined according to the integration of mans relationship with his fellow man and mans relationship with nature. Based on the above, we can say that the objective process of the interacting roles in society cannot deviate from the original rule of the element of stability in the Quranic text and the noble Prophets hadith. Because this rule is what will crystallize the correct approach that should be taken by all the components of society, especially the Islamic community, given that this rule is what constitutes the rulings that are of a fixed and continuous nature in time and place and are colored by the complete and comprehensive view of social life.But the void area that occurred between the elements of interaction immediately after the Messenger of God - may Gods prayers and peace be upon him and his family and grant them peace - moved to the Supreme Comrade made it possible for there to be fluid flexibility in time and place in the position of Ali bin Abi Talib - may Gods prayers and peace be upon him - and that With the aim of continuing the process of Islamic society in accordance with the principles and values that reflect the reality of Islamic legislation, with its flexibility and interaction between mans relationship with his fellow man and mans relationship with nature.
