| Summary: | The 'Qur'En' as a divine book has terms that are used and
related to 'thinking' such as TaIawwur (conceiving), Idrak
(perceiving), Fiqh (grasping), TaNaqqul (reasoning),
Tadhakkur (contemplating) etc. This paper explores major
Qur'Enic terms related to thinking with the aim of
uncovering potential value of these terms for human life.
For this purpose, both textual and contextual analyses have
been applied, as appropriate. The paper argues that
internalising the Qur'Enic terms for thinking will
contribute to the uplift of the global struggle on
formalisation of thinking in public and private places for
rightful human thought. The positive influence of Qur'Enic
thinking will not remain limited to individuals, but will
also affect communities through influence of human
thought and behaviour which, in turn, will lead to a
paradigm shift in the academic realm. |
