Abstract

The consideration of Islam based on the division between unity and polytheism eradicates the foundation of the religion. Divine Unity is based on God’s Attributes, Actions, and Names. As one of the Divine Attributes, Glory is a manifestation of His Unity. The study at hand aimed to examine Glory-based Unity and the ensuing Glory-based cultivation. To this end, the verses of the noble Qur’ān were inspected using the descriptive-analytical method. An important finding of the study was that describing God as Glorious is due to His enjoyment of issues such as Authority, Lordship, absolute Governance as well as the humble obedience shown to Him by the world of being. Based on the analysis of the qur’ānic concept of Glory and recognition of its principles through a theistic approach, the principle of Glory is taken as the source of the argument for the general Unity. This source indicates new dimensions of the role of Glory-based Unity in the human cultivation.
