“The Capacity to Think and Freedom of Thought from a Qur’an’ic Perspective”
Farouk Fural
Abstract Of Title
This paper aims to explore the Qur’anic approach to the human capacity to think
and the value the Qur’an ascribes to freedom of thought. The Qur’an uses various forms
of language to urge people to implement their intellectual power and warns about the
unwanted consequences when they fail to do so. A meaningful life, according to the
Qur’an, is based on the ability to think appropriately, the first condition of which is
to think freely. The freedom of thought recognized in the Qur’an is by far much more
expansive than any human system.
The Qur’an prescribes proactive/constructive thought and to flourish accordingly to
establish an ideal society. The Qur’anic message does not entail boundaries for thought,
however, suggests a framework of conditions to prevent violations and humiliations
against human dignity and freedoms of others.
