The Qur'anic criteria of national unity are: 1) protecting human dignity 2) justice 3) creating affection and annihilating hostility.
The criteria of Islamic solidarity are 1) monotheism 2) judgment in conflicts 3) fortifying common beliefs of Muslim community 4) extending the Islamic brotherhood and institutionalizing the laws of Islamic brotherhood 5) mutual language of national unity.

The exigency of human esteem and Islamic mission is that the Islamic government and nation should annihilate the root of hostility. They should also extend affection in the Islamic society so that this affection may cause the frustrations be removed and changed to success. If the Islamic solidarity is to be fulfilled, the fundamental Qur'anic criterion should direct the Islamic countries movement.
