The signs of a clean society

When social system is clean and is based on the principles of the system of creation and divine trains, human relationships are based on appropriate norms and the possibility of growth will be provided. Looking at the trains of the religion of the Islam, we can consider the trains of the religion of the Islam in five parts that will be mentioned:
1. The establishment of life security
In all of the societies of human, the right of each person is to have life security. The first condition in each society is that persons can continue their life without any anxiety and stress and their life and health are not threatened. Hence, if people do not have life security in a society, it will not be a clean society. Hence, the first and the most important principle that the persons of the society should try for it is to save the life of each other.
The Islam has emphasized on this topic strongly and has considered invading persons and hurting them as big sins and has considered killing a person the same as killing all of persons.
On the other hand, the Islam has considered appropriate ways for the implementation of the preservation of human life and some of them will be mentioned:
1. The enactment of appropriate rules for preventing from massacre and murdering such as talion and blood money as Quran states about this matter that talion law is the preservation of social life;
2. The necessity of defending the life of others;
3. The necessity of avoiding providing the ground of hurting others;
4. The necessity of saving the life of others in the time of danger;
5. The necessity of the prevention of the disregarding of the blood of others.
2. The establishment of financial security
One of the early conditions of a clean society is the provision of economic security of people. It means that the persons of the society should have basic comfort and their properties should not be stolen by other persons. Hence, any kinds of anxiety and worry is considered as a kind of the threat of the health of the society due to lack of the supply of financial and economic security among persons.
On the other hand, because social relationships lead to the contrast of the benefits of persons in the society naturally, freedom and the economic activities of persons should be determined so that their financial losses should be prevented.
The religion of the Islam has tried with economic complete system that it provides the economic security of all persons. There are some norms in this system that is based on the nature of human so that all of economic activities can be done within their framework and the benefits of all persons are provided and tyranny and inequality are prevented. The basis of this system is based on the distribution of wealth fairly and the establishment of basic comfort.
3. The establishment of emotional security
Appropriate emotional relationships should be among people and groups in a right society because emotional relationships have an effective role in the unity of the members of the society. There is no question that social groups fight with each other in a society, such a society will be corrupted and we can live in such a society easily.
From the point of view of the Islam, behaviors such as backbiting and making discord that darken emotional relationships among persons are called '' social corruptions'' because these provoke persons to fight with each other. On the other hand, any kinds of behaviors that lead to affection and friendship among persons provide the ground of emotional relationships are called '' social prudence''.
'' Persons that God has not granted kindness and mercy to others in their hearts are unsuccessful ''.
'' A devout person is a person that has friendship with others and other persons have tendency and friendship toward him or her''.
If the members of the society have friendly and intimate relationships with each other and there is more friendship among them, they will be closer to each other and the purposes of their social life will be implemented more. Hence, the Islam has emphasized on emotional behaviors in the community; '' Affection and kindness toward people are the half of wisdom''.
A person from Bani Tamim Tribe came to the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) and said to the prophet '' advise me''. One of the advices of the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) to the person was that you should have affection toward people so that they have affection toward you.
''If you like one of your brothers, you should express it to him and if you like a person, you should express it to him or her because this causes that affection and friendship among you become more permanent''.
Imam Mojtaba (peace be upon him) considers the norm of closeness among persons not only kinship but also affection and friendship among persons and states
'' A person is close to you if affection and friendship have made him or her have close friendship with you in spite of the fact that he or she does not have kinship with you. A person has far relationship with you if lack of affection and friendship have made him or her far from you in spite of the fact that he or she has kinship with you''.
4. The establishment of spiritual security
Spiritual security has an extended conception and it includes beliefs and topics that are related to the though and psycho of human. If the persons of a society do not have right beliefs and do not provide its education and culture as the ground of achieving appropriate beliefs, such a society will become corrupted. Today the societies of human are trying that the topic of beliefs and spirituality of human can be summarized in individual aspect and its social aspect should not be discussed whereas what leads persons and the community real happiness and guarantees the rightness of their path is the existence of true beliefs in two individual and social aspects.
God states in Quran
'' و کذلک جعلنا کم امة و سطاً لتکونوا شهدا علی الناس و یکون الرسول علیکم شهیداً''
'' We have considered you a moderate nation so that you can be a witness for people and the prophet (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) can be a witness for you''.
It has been expressed in interpretations that Islamic nation is a moderate nation in all areas. One of the signs of a moderate nation is spiritual and material values. Such a nation neither is immersed in the material world some nations nor is immersed in spiritual world. A clean society provides balance in both material and spiritual aspects of human. There is no question that the path of policy making and planning should be in the path of the implementation of this balance in all parts of the society. On the other hand, it should be expressed that going extremes, out of balance path, will have serious individual and social problems.
5. The establishment of personal security
Persons are only creatures that have two kinds of lives: material life that other creatures have and spiritual life that includes two kinds:
a. Spiritual life that is related to the immortal life and it is gained only through faith in God and righteous actions;
'' If devout women and men do decent actions, we will keep them alive with clean life''.
2. Spiritual life is related to the life of the world and its purpose is social personality of persons. Human does not only have natural greatness and human greatness, but he or she also has a certain situation from the aspect of grace, respect and validity and his or her individual personality depends on it. This personality is a kind of life for persons. Hence, its preservation is necessary for persons and others.
Hence, persons should not make himself or herself disgraceful and dishonorable. Amir Al-Momenin (peace be upon him) states '' a person that is insulted should not censure a person that becomes suspicious to him or her''.
Others should not interfere into the spiritual life of persons, but they should respect it. There is no question that there are different persons in the society with different opinions and tastes. This variety leads to the progress of the society and sometimes, it changes a factor in the path of the growth and promotion of the society.
All of persons do not have equal personality in the society and this is considered as necessary matters for the survival of the society. If a person considers himself or herself superior than others in a right or false way, he or she will have a kind of false arrogance without paying attention to the critical role of other groups in the society and he or she will violate the spiritual life of other persons and hurt their personality.
On the other hand, the Islam has not allowed to enter the boundary of the personality of persons for the establishment of personal security and has recommended to cover the defects of others. All of persons hate defects and they are trying to cover their defects so that others cannot recognize them. But are these persons ready to cover the defects of others or they remove their defects before they express the defects of other persons?
One of the signs of a righteous society is to preserve the honor of others and it is necessary for all persons.
