A review of the history of Islamic nations’ struggles against colonialism and occupation reveals that a major factor contributing to a nation’s weakness and the enemy’s dominance is the fomenting of division and disintegration among the people; where the lack of unity paves the way for external influence and subjugation. Throughout Islamic history, a primary mission of Muslim scholars has been the institutionalization of the discourse of Islamic unity among Muslims, particularly their followers. As one of the most prominent Sunni jurists, Imam Shafi’i, through the formulation of his jurisprudential reasoning foundations and his emphasis on the shared sources of the Sharia, presented an approach that can contribute to reducing disputes and strengthening scientific dialogue among Muslims. Among his works, Al-Umm stands out as one of the most significant, containing a collection of jurisprudential views and ijtihadi arguments that demonstrate an approach based on reasoning, dialogue, and respect for divergent opinions. Using a descriptive-analytical method and examining the content of Al-Umm and Shafi’i’s jurisprudential views, this study attempts to analyze the unity-generating capacities of his thought. The central research question is: How can Imam Shafi’i’s juridical and literary works, particularly Al-Umm, contribute to strengthening unity and convergence among Muslims? The research findings indicate that Imam Shafi’i’s emphasis on the love for the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) in his poetry, his reliance on common sources of Islamic jurisprudence, his methodology of scientific reasoning, and his acceptance of disagreement within the framework of ijtihad, provide a significant foundation for the approximation of Islamic schools of thought (Taqrib) and the strengthening of Islamic unity.
