Class classification according to Imam Ali () - an analytical study -

Abstract

When tracing the divisions of society’s classes and people’s classes according to Imam Ali B, more than one classification will appear before us, but its money is a close touch on the foundations of the state’s philosophy and the functions of the subjects. There are two divisions, one of which is general and comprehensive that includes all people and in every place and time, and the other is purely specific and functional in which it classifies the groups of society. On the basis of specialization or function, which is the division that he mentioned during his reign to Malik al-Ashtar as well, and in which the imam divides the parish into layers, each layer according to its specialization, and thus it is correct to call it the functional or specialized division. And in it he says B: ((And know that the subjects are classes, one of which is good except for one another, and one is not indispensable for one another)) and from that it appears that the great and subtle interdependence of the classes is with the imam, as one class is not independent of another.
