Ma`rifat

This research aims to examine the role of the teachings of Imam al-Sajjad (peace be upon him) in the Risālat al-Ḥuqūq, specifically the right of the neighbor, in improving neighborly relations and social cohesion. The research method is qualitative, employing a descriptive-analytical approach, conducted using Islamic sources and related studies. The results indicate that strengthening social cohesion can be achieved through increasing a sense of responsibility and solidifying social identity, building trust and social security, reinforcing solidarity and social participation, preventing and reducing social harms, improving quality of life, and strengthening moral and spiritual values. Factors contributing to the diminished importance of neighborly relations in contemporary societies include structural changes and modern urbanization, cultural and social transformations, psychological factors, and changes in lifestyle. Practical strategies based on the teachings and doctrines of Imam al-Sajjad (peace be upon him) that can contribute to the reconstruction of human relations in societies include: reforming social attitudes through education and cultural cultivation, fostering a culture of respect and good character in neighborly relations, creating opportunities for social interaction at the neighborhood level, promoting a spirit of empathy and mutual assistance, reforming urban laws and policies to strengthen social interactions, utilizing technology to facilitate neighborly communication, and setting a model for other social relationships.
