    Summary

    The tyranny of voting and self-centeredness is one of the bad traits and one of the moral vices that has been strongly condemned in the Quran and hadiths. Due to their pride and arrogance, self-centered people avoid consulting with others in their affairs, and in social and political dimensions, as soon as they gain power, they dominate others and create oppression and corruption in the society. Considering the importance of this issue in the field of individual and social life, in this research, with the aim of investigating the factors of the emergence of voting tyranny and self-centeredness, the role of consultation in individual and social life has been evaluated and the negative and harmful effects of voting tyranny have been expressed; Also, the solutions to deal with self-centeredness should be expressed and the role of God-centeredness in individual and social life should be noted. Therefore, by referring to the Holy Qur'an and the traditions of Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) and by referring to interpretive, moral and social books, this category was investigated. And finally, such a result was reached that in order to eradicate a self-centered spirit, in addition to the ways of treating the disease, it is important to replace God in his place. Therefore, the way to cure self-centeredness and tyranny by voting is to know God, the Blessed and Exalted;  acceptance of collective wisdom; accepting the role of helping others in success; Criticism and consultation are discussed in detail in their place.

    Key words: self-centeredness, tyranny of vote, consultation, Holy Quran, hadiths.

    Introduction

    Man is a social being in the sense that he was created in such a way that in order to live his life and meet his material and emotional needs, it is inevitable to communicate with others. is Therefore, in order to be able to communicate in the best way in the field of society and interaction with others, he must have a good moral and people-friendly character in order to walk the path of happiness and perfection. But unfortunately, there are people who are not born with good morals for some reasons and are hated people in the society who do not have a place in the minds of the public. Among these negative and unpleasant characteristics is having a self-centered spirit and tyranny of voting; In this article entitled "Investigation of ways to avoid self-centeredness and tyranny of voting from the perspective of verses and traditions", we have tried to pay attention to this category in social and moral dimensions, considering the divine verses and the unified attitudes of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) and other infallible imams (peace be upon him).

    The tyranny of voting is the result of arrogance; This moral vice is indicative of human ignorance and ignorance, which makes a person happy and satisfied with himself. Self-centered people avoid consulting with others in their affairs due to their pride and self-conceit, and in social and political dimensions, as soon as they gain power, they dominate others and create oppression and corruption in the society. Now, considering the importance of this issue in the field of individual and social life, in this research we have tried to evaluate the role of consultation in individual and social life with the aim of investigating the factors that lead to the tyranny of voting and self-centeredness and express the negative and harmful effects of voting tyranny; Also, let's express the solutions to deal with self-centeredness and remember the role of God-centeredness in individual and social life.

    Thus, this treatise consists of the following chapters:

    The first chapter is about generalization, which includes stating a research problem; Explaining the necessity and usefulness of research; goals; history; background; research questions and hypotheses; And the method used in the selection of the materials of this research is, and in the following, it deals with the conceptualization of tyranny and self-centeredness, some terms are mentioned which include: the terminology of the words tyranny and self-centeredness; And the Quranic terms synonymous with these two words, i.e. the words "tyranny", "tyranny" and "arrogance" are under the title of the origin of tyranny in the Quran.

    In the second chapter, tyranny and self-centeredness in the Quran are examined, which includes the following sub-sets: the position of the Quran and traditions against tyranny; Characteristics of autocratic and arrogant culture in Quran and hadiths; "Satan", the first despot in the system of creation; "Pharaoh" is a symbol of tyranny in the Qur'an.

    In the third chapter, under the title of a study of the origins of self-centeredness and tyranny by vote, the factors of the emergence of these unpleasant traits in humans have been investigated, which include: excess in the instinct of self-love; Human freedom and agency; lack of wisdom and tact; self-confidence; Satisfying lusts and mistakes is in modeling.

    In the fourth chapter focusing on the personal and social effects and consequences of self-centeredness and the tyranny of voting, its impact in both individual and social spheres is stated.

    In the fifth chapter, which is the turning point of this article, firstly, in the first part, God-centeredness is presented as an opposite point to self-centeredness, and the ways of teaching and promoting God-centeredness are discussed, and in the second part, the ways of preventing and treating this great personal and social pain are presented.
