Therefore, this paper attempts to analyze the fact of asabiyah from a positive point of view according to Ibn Khaldun and how it influenced society in the construction of Islamic civilization. The method used in the writing is based on the method of document analysis from sources related to asabiyah. The results of the study found that Ibn Khaldun has stated that asabiyah should be understood from a positive point of view so that asabiyah can be used for good in the state society. It is a foundation for unification and unity that has strengthened political power throughout the history of Islam.

Oleh kerana itu, kertas ini cuba menganalisis hakikat asabiyah dari sudut pandang positif menurut Ibnu Khaldun dan bagaimana ia mempengaruhi masyarakat dalam pembinaan tamadun Islam. Kaedah yang digunakan dalam penulisan adalah berdasarkan metod analisis dokumen daripada sumber-sumber yang berkaitan dangan asabiyah. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa Ibnu Khaldun telah menyatakan asabiyah perlu difahami dari sudut pandang positif sehingga asabiyah dapat digunakan ke arah kebaikan dalam masyarakat bernegara. Ia merupakan satu asas bagi penyatuan dan perpaduan yang mengukuhkan sesuatu kekuasaan politik sepanjang sejarah Islam.
