Abstract:

 This study has attempted to map the internal and external challenges to the unity of the Islamic world. Through this, the trends in the Islamic world have been explained to determine whether the current situation indicates convergence or divergence in the Islamic world. The goal pursued by this research is to determine whether, based on the realities existing in the international system and the trends in the Islamic world, it is possible to achieve the unity of the Islamic world in the future. This research has also achieved results by using the future research method. An analysis of the current situation in the Islamic world reveals that due to the conflicting interests of Islamic states, at least in the short term, we will not witness the unity of Muslims. In order to overcome this situation, a plan for the unity of the Islamic world must first be agreed upon by the intellectual and governmental elites of the Islamic world, and then practical measures and joint programs must replace the promotion of hostility and the suppression of extremism.

 Bu çalışma, İslam dünyasının birliğine yönelik iç ve dış zorlukların haritasını çıkarmaya çalışmıştır. Bu sayede İslam dünyasındaki eğilimler açıklanarak mevcut durumun İslam dünyasında yakınlaşmaya mı yoksa ayrışmaya mı işaret ettiği belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu araştırmanın amacı, uluslararası sistemde var olan gerçeklere ve İslam dünyasındaki eğilimlere dayanarak, gelecekte İslam dünyasının birliğini sağlamanın mümkün olup olmadığını belirlemektir. Bu araştırma aynı zamanda gelecek araştırması yöntemini kullanarak sonuçlara ulaşmıştır. İslam dünyasındaki mevcut durumun analizi, İslam devletlerinin çatışan çıkarları nedeniyle en azından kısa vadede Müslümanların birliğine şahit olamayacağımızı ortaya koymaktadır. Bu durumun üstesinden gelmek için öncelikle İslam dünyasının entelektüel ve hükümet elitleri tarafından İslam dünyasının birliği için bir plan üzerinde anlaşmaya varılmalı ve ardından düşmanlığın teşvik edilmesi ve aşırıcılığın bastırılmasının yerini pratik önlemler ve ortak programlar almalıdır.
