Civilizational Convergence and the Crisis of Divergence in the Islamic World
The contemporary history of the Islamic world faces various challenges and crises. One of the most important challenges and crises is divergence and dissociation which requires convergent theorizing, performance and behavior. Islamic thinker and elites have presented various and valuable answers and solutions to this problem. In the present article, the solution presented by Ayatollah Khamenei and Malik bin Nabi were investigated as civilizational convergence based on Spragens's conceptual model of crisis. Based on Spragens's four stage theory of crisis in which is stage is built upon the previous one, our current conditions does not have any direction towards convergence and our current crisis is a civilizational crisis which is the result of intellectual, cultural problems and the network of social relations and in order to reach the ideal picture i.e. the unified nation, we must move towards civilizational convergence which seems to be the solution of this problem and crisis.
