THE IMPACT OF OMAR BIN ABDUL AZIZ'S APPROACH IN DEALING WITH TRIBAL INTOLERANCE IN ACHIEVING SOCIAL STABILITY IN THE UMAYYAD SOCIETY

Abstract

This research seeks to deduce Omar bin Abdul Aziz's reformist strategy for dealing with tribal intolerance in Umayyad society to attain social stability. Despite the turmoil and sectarianism that afflicted it, the period of Omar bin Abdul Aziz was a golden period in Islamic history, with social stability that contributed to the stability of society and country. Tribal intolerance is a sociological phenomenon that still exists in some societies and is one of today’s most serious social issues. The researcher used an inductive method to look into texts narrated by Umar bin Abdul Aziz and narrated in its reliable sources. He derived his approach to the treatment of tribal intolerance from them. The study came to several conclusions, the most significant of which is that there must be foundations that countries consider while addressing tribal intolerance, A number of them were determined by the researcher from what was narrated by Omar bin Abdul Aziz. The most important of which was what Omar did, including establishing justice and asceticism in life and achieving equality among the members of society. This study also found that religion is the most effective deterrent to tribal intolerance and that class categorization and nepotism will emerge without it. The research advised that Omar bin Abdul Aziz's strategies for combating tribal intolerance be taught in the school curriculum, as well as the need for justice and equality to eliminate the problem of tribal intolerance.
