Quranic anthropology, as a branch of divine sciences, investigates the existential nature of humanity and its position within the system of creation. This science, relying on the verses of the Holy Quran, analyses human behaviours, deeds, and interactions with the realm of Nasut, unveiling the pathways to perfection and felicity. This treatise, through a systematic rewriting of the delivered lectures, provides a scholarly and coherent text for researchers and academic audiences. All details and key points of the lectures are presented with comprehensive explanation within a scientific structure, employing an exalted language befitting the academic milieu. Organized sections, specialised subheadings, and detailed conclusions, along with refined metaphors and allegories, render this work rich and engaging.
This section, linked to previous discussions on the order of creation, analyses the development of the Nasut realm and the creation of pairs from the Quranic perspective.
The creation of pairs, as a sign of Divine wisdom, heralds the unknowns of the world and promises the scientific advancement of humanity.
سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ الْأَزْوَاجَ كُلَّهَا مِمَّا تُنْبِتُ الْأَرْضُ وَمِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَمِمَّا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
Glory be to Him Who created all pairs from what the earth produces, from themselves, and from that which they do not know.
(Y-Sn: 36)
This verse, emphasising the unknown aspects of creation, speaks of humanitys future progress in producing pairs. Future humans, utilising knowledge, will create stronger and more beautiful beings, though some may misuse this knowledge.
Key Point: The creation of pairs, as a sign of Divine wisdom, reveals the unknown aspects of the universe and foretells humanitys scientific development.
Scientific development, when accompanied by faith and piety, leads to the creation of superior beings; however, its misuse results in corruption.
The misconception of science ceasing and the superiority of predecessors hinder progress. Religious science must pursue the discovery of Quranic unknowns.
The creation of pairs is a sign of Divine wisdom indicating humanitys scientific advancement. This section invites mankind to faith and endeavour in uncovering the unknown.
