Abstract

With the emergence of Islam and after the spread of the Prophet's publicity, Islamic society experienced a kind of moral convergence. This convergence was initially formed on the basis of an aspiration and common enemy, then it turned into a social culture, and its result was social integration. The Prophet (PBUH) formed the new Islamic society by changing the social components of the pre-Islamic (jahiliyyah) era. The question of the present research is: how and through what stages did the Prophet (PBUH) create moral convergence in society? To document the moral convergence in the Prophet's Sira, this research explained the role of morality in social convergence and, using the theory of "moral convergence of society," examined and explained the Prophet's social moral management. The results of this research show that prophet (PBUH) succeeded in creating a society with a component of moral convergence in three stages: identity formation, promotion of convergence, and consolidation.
