The Effects of the Tendency Dimension on Insight and Action from the Perspective of the Holy Quran

Abstract

The most important ambiguity and hiddenness of man is about himself, and the most useful sciences are also dedicated to this science. Man has always sought happiness and desired his own perfection. Therefore, if man knows himself, the first step on this path has been taken. For those in charge of human education and training, there is always the question of how to manage the change in human behavior in order to achieve perfection. The philosophy of prophecy can also be explained in this regard. The Holy Quran says: “...and He will remove from them their constraint and the shackles that were upon them.” In the noble verse, “constraint” and “shackles” are interpreted as a burden on the shoulders of man. What is this heavy burden that the prophets came to lift from the shoulders of mankind? What are these shackles and chains that have made it impossible for man to progress on the path of perfection? The verse refers to the fact that beliefs and prejudices have intertwined, managed the vision and inclinations of humans and shaped their behavior and actions that are not monotheistic and are in accordance with the animal realm. God Almighty has made the existential composition of man a mixture of knowledge, power and love. The main philosophy of the revelation of the Quran and the sending of the prophets and the existence of the Imams of Guidance (peace be upon them), which was to guide humans, is not possible except by understanding the relationship between the areas of human existence. This is the issue that will be examined in this research.
