Abstract
One of the important issues which should be considered about the social system is factors of social solidarity, in this article analyses the system of solidarity in the administrative ideas of Imam Ali (A.S.) and its comparison with the theory of social solidarity of Emil Durkheim. Imam Ali (A.S.) in 36 AH, with the people's vote, took over the government in a situation where the social system was fragmented and divided. Therefore, the creation of solidarity at different levels of society seemed to be necessary. Similarities between creating solidarity in Imam Ali (A.S.) approach and Nahj al-Balaghah are evident. He tried to create a new direction in solidarity by redefining and organizing concepts such as society, rights, human beings, justice, politics, ummah, and a single ummah. Among sociological theorists, Emile Durkheim was the first who studied the theory of correlation and its role in society and provided a theoretical framework. In this research, which was done in an analytical-documentary way, it was indicated that according to the raised issues. However, there are differences in theoretical aspects between the ideas of Imam Ali (A.S.) and Emil Durkheim, but in the correlation dimension, there are common characteristics. The main indicator of the difference is that in his ruling position, Imam Ali tried to promote the society of his time towards organic solidarity, he also used to pay attention to the division of social work. In Imam Ali's (AS) thought, Islamic values, especially the concept of justice, have always been meaningful, and based on it, a kind of solidarity is formed in society. In Durkheim's view, it is the collective conscience that can lead to social solidarity.
