Abstract

Considering the role of dignity in the Quranic politics, the purpose of this article is to describe the socio-political aspects of the concept of dignity. Dignity, as a fundamental category, a theory for recognition, and a core for genuine human-social rights, attracts high human and social virtues and rejects moral decrepitude and intellectual ignorance for individuals and the society. Therefore, this article answers the following question: What are the social-political aspects of dignity in the Quranic wisdom? This hypothesis is put forward in this article, with a qualitative and interpretive approach, that the most important socio-political aspects of the matter of dignity in the Qur'an are based on the transcendental rationality, inclusive justice and the promotion of legitimate freedoms. The value of the article is also understanding the network of the Quranic meanings of dignity in the social-political field and its positive consequences. The findings show that the sincere belief in the social-political dignity of the people in a religious community will facilitate the mutual revival of the social-political rights of the people and the government, in such a way that the promotion of the social-political aspects of dignity arising from the Qur'an will increase the dignity of religion, the responsible cooperation of the people and the government, as well as the comprehensive development of the political system. Failure to pay attention to it will also cause violence and socio-political disorder.
