Islam Guides Life in the Light of the Qur’anic School"

Abstract

In addressing the issue of guiding human life in light of the noble Qur'anic teachings, one may inquire: Does the Qur'an provide sufficient and appropriate constitutions and systems to direct human life through its blessed verses, thereby addressing life’s affairs within specific Qur'anic frameworks? If the answer is "yes," the research at hand could explore several key aspects of this subject, including: the comprehensive package of laws and programs that Islam offers to regulate all facets of human life, encompassing worship, transactions, ethics, and politics. The establishment of a unique human model that achieves happiness and success in both this world and the Hereafter. The emphasis on noble human values, such as honesty, justice, compassion, and tolerance. The opposition to injustice and corruption, promotion of equality among people, and provision of effective solutions to contemporary societal issues like poverty, unemployment, and violence. The contribution to achieving peace and stability in the world. Additionally, it encourages the pursuit of knowledge and understanding, values scholars and intellectuals, emphasizes the importance of work and productivity, combats idleness, and assists in preserving Islamic identity amidst contemporary cultural challenges. One of the most significant evidences of Islam's ability to guide life is found in the Qur'anic verses that advocate for righteousness and proper conduct in all aspects of life. This is demonstrated through the application of some of the fundamental teachings of Islam in certain Muslim countries, which do not suffer from issues that are prevalent in countries where these teachings are not implemented. The article's title and concept are inspired by two works by the martyr Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr: "Islam Leads Life" and "The Qur'anic School," while introducing new topics beyond those covered in these works. The article employs an analytical-descriptive approach by examining certain Qur'anic verses. It concludes that Islam guides all aspects of a healthy life.
