Abstract

Allameh Tabataba'i considers the truth of society and the movement of legal history and states that nations and societies because they are nations and society, not individuals and members of society, traditions and laws, promotions and degenerations, have a common destiny and a collective action letter. And this fact means the legitimacy of the movement of history and society. On the other hand, in the Qur'an, human beings are invited to reason and think, especially about historical events and processes, in order to discover the causes of progress and degeneration of nations in order to teach themselves and others. This change is one of the most important and inviolable traditions of the creative apparatus. According to Allameh, faith and righteous deeds or infidelity and corruption of human beings have an effect on how the future events of human beings are formed and even in the world system. And various factors such as ignoring the relationship with God, fighting the prophets and preachers of truth, oppression, and injustice, etc. are involved in the fall and rise of civilizations. Of course, human hardships and misfortunes will end Because the unchangeable tradition of God is that in the last movement of history, only the worthy and pious servants of God will be the heirs of the earth
