The Concept of the National Character

First: Intellectual Principles (Standards of Belief)

These are the deep convictions that shape the orbit and compass of the national character, guiding its decisions. We elucidate these principles as follows:

1. Unity of Destiny and Fundamental Belief: The belief that a person's destiny and personal dignity are inextricably linked to the nation's destiny and dignity. It views the national interest as a "supreme value" that precedes all individual or group interests, including religious, familial, tribal, and political party affiliations.

2. Belief in National Sovereignty and Total Liberation: The absolute rejection of subjugation and an unwavering belief in the nation's full right to self-determination. This involves rejecting any form of hegemony or subordination (economic, political, cultural) to external powers, as well as rejecting the domestic abuse of power.

3. Social Justice and Equality: Nationalism is viewed as a unifying principle within a framework that achieves absolute equality among all members of the nation, regardless of religion, race, or class. Social justice is considered a foundation no less important than political independence.

4. Nationalism as a Comprehensive Civilizational Movement: Nationalism is not seen as a mere reaction or slogan, but as an integrated renaissance project that requires knowledge, production, innovation, and culture to restore the nation's standing.

Second: Codes of Conduct (Practical Application)

These are the daily commitments and actions practiced by a national individual. Here we explain the rules of application and conduct:

1. Dedication, Selflessness, and Protecting the Nation in Work: The individual adheres to this approach, viewing proficiency in their work as a direct service to the nation. They are committed to quality and integrity in their profession or job, considering any negligence or corruption as a betrayal of the national project.

2. Defending National Unity: The individual actively guards national unity, always serving as the voice of reason and logic, and rejecting division and discord. They oppose measures that encourage and foster class and factional divisions within the nation, working instead to consolidate concepts of unity and coexistence.

3. Responsibility and Accountability: They hold themselves accountable and do not evade the consequences of their actions. Thus, the national character does not merely blame circumstances or others, but assumes responsibility for their role in any failure. They continuously review their stances and correct their course for the benefit of the nation.

4. Unconditional Sacrifice and Giving: The readiness to pay the price and place the public interest above their own. They are willing to expend effort, money, and time—even if it risks personal comfort—for the sake of national and patriotic goals.

5. Active Participation in Public Affairs: They do not limit themselves to complaining or criticizing, but actively participate in political and social life (elections, public debates, civic initiatives) to contribute to decision-making.

Third: Personal Traits of the Leader / National Individual

Here we distinguish some of the psychological and behavioral characteristics of the national individual from the average person, as well as their traits and connection to national revival:

1. Strategic Vision: They do not view problems as isolated entities but connect them to the bigger picture. They possess a clear vision of the future they seek and can inspire others with this vision.

2. Courage and Intellectual Competence: The bravery to speak up, express the truth, and voice their opinions in defense of national foundations, even if it contradicts the mainstream or narrow interests. They remain steadfast and clear in their principled stance.

3. Emotional Intelligence and Inclusivity: The ability to understand and embrace the feelings and concerns of different classes and segments of society, while speaking to the emotions of individuals and the community in a language that unites rather than divides; a unifier, not a divider.

4. Selflessness and Exemplary Giving: Working silently, voluntarily, and with a pure spirit, avoiding showmanship and self-promotion. The national character exemplifies national principles in their daily life (such as integrity, respect for others, and expertise).

5. Self-Discipline and Resilience: Possessing an iron will and inexhaustible patience. They understand that national projects are not built overnight, and neither obstacles nor temporary failures deter them from continuing their work.

In short, the national character is the living embodiment of the national project. They are the model that translates grand intellectual principles into tangible, everyday behavior that serves the nation's highest interests.
