Islamic Awakening and Strategy of the Formation of an Islamic Ummah

The main inquiry of this article is what interactions are there between Islamic awakening and the formation of an Islamic ummah. Therefore applying descriptive analysis of documents and offering evidences from Quran and traditions as well as opinions of scholars and reformers such as Imam Khomeini, it has been tried to prove this assumption that there is strategic interactions between Islamic awakening and unity of Islamic ummah and they are main component for each other to be implemented. The author believes that one of the main instances of Islamic awakening is observing the aspiration of Muslim unity and an Islamic ummah; one of the Islamic ways to pave the ground for Muslim unity and formation of an Islamic ummah is to increase Muslim's awareness and alertness toward Islamic aspirations, objectives and duties. The key to Muslim's unity lies in the implementation of Islam and people's and ruler's real faith in this religion so that away from any dispersive factor the way toward unity and consolidation of ummah can be paved in the light of monotheism. However one of the threats of Islamic awakening is the extremist wahhabi's dispersive behavior. Fighting this current is the first strategic measure to implement the aspiration of a united Islamic ummah.
