Abstract
<jats:p>From Animal Farm to Tawḥīd A Comparative Study of Power, Justice, and Freedom This study offers a comparative analysis of George Orwells Animal Farm and Ali Shariatis conception of Tawḥīd as a framework for social justice and human liberation. The primary objective is to explore how the concepts of power, justice, and freedom are interpreted within two distinct intellectual traditions. While Orwell demonstrates how revolutionary ideals gradually transform into systems of oppression and exploitation, Shariati identifies the roots of such corruption in forms of shirk, namely the absolutization of political power, wealth, and ideological authority. Through comparisons such as Napoleon and Pharaoh, the pigs and Qarun, Squealer and Balaam, and Boxer and the passive masses, the book examines mechanisms of domination, propaganda, economic privilege, and social manipulation. It argues that the pathologies diagnosed by Orwell can be addressed through Shariatis understanding of Tawḥīd, which emphasizes human dignity, social responsibility, and resistance against all forms of servitude except devotion to God. The work further evaluates contemporary societies as modern Animal Farms, shaped by media control, consumer culture, and ideological manipulation. The concluding chapter proposes a Conscious Tawḥīd Theory as a philosophy of freedom and awareness. Ultimately, the book seeks to establish an original synthesis between critical political thought and Islamic perspectives on justice, equality, and liberation. Keywords: Tawḥīd, George Orwell, Ali Shariati, Power and Authority, Social Justice</jats:p>
