human interests; Islamic approach to the concept of interest in foreign policy

The idea of national interest, because of being based on Hobbes’s political philosophy and theory of the nation-state, implies principles and requirements of certain activism in foreign policy that its results are well manifested in the growing alienation of nations and human societies as well as the never-ending competition and conflict between them on the attainment of their own interests. The present research aims to analyze the theoretical foundations of interests of the Islamic State in foreign policy through an exploration in the Islamic Political Philosophy using the descriptive-analytic method. In addition, by explaining the theoretical foundations such as the need for cooperative services in relations between units, this study tries to provide grounds for proposal of a new approach to the concept of interests under the title of “human interests” in order to help the policies and measures of the Islamic State to be underpinned by material and spiritual happiness of all nations and cause the Islamic rluer, as the as vicegerent of God on earth, to be concerned with the happiness of all human beings.
