Civic Virtue Sample Clauses

Civic Virtue. Social Responsibilities The third instrument of domination of the IRI’s political culture is the ‘civic virtue’, or in other words, practising social responsibility. In post- revolution Iran this term referred to a revolutionary socio-political attitude or behaviour that through which individuals could express or manifest their acts of solidarity in their communities. In this respect, this instrument of domination of the IRI’s elite political culture has a slightly different meaning from the pre-revolution practice of politico-religious ‘duties’ that also concerned with some thought-actions of social responsibilities. From the early eighties onwards this change of attitude took place and becomes a dominant notion about socio-political activities among the Pan-Islamist who precisely constituted the bulk of culturally ideologised groups.

This term in Political Islam incites that people in their social relations do good things. Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx mentions this expressly in his work (collective volume five 1993), in which he contrasts the evil practice of some Muslims who merely pray Islam. He compares these Muslims with those who proceed from the correct stance and practice and engages in some kind of social actions. The ‘civic virtue’ or practising social responsibility is therefore viewed as the result of the rightful attitude and the behaviour of Muslims, and the unity of Islamic thought and action, which he mentioned expressly in annual message to Mecca pilgrims (hadje).74The compilation of debates on 74 - “You [Muslims] should pay attention to this great gathering which by the order of God Almighty take place in that holy land.
