Studying the Effect of Insight on the Relationship between Tendency and Action from the Perspective of the Holy Quran

Abstract

The spiritual dimension of man has three aspects: insight, tendency, and action, and recognizing the relationships between these dimensions plays a significant role in the knowledge of the soul. These dimensions certainly affect each other, and this influence can be very important in the formation of the nature and personality of man. However, this issue has remained hidden from the eyes of many researchers or they have ultimately reached a dead end with one-sidedness; that is, instead of a comprehensive view and considering all three existential dimensions of the soul, they have paid attention to one of his existential dimensions and have ultimately deviated from the main goal; for example, some philosophers have paid too much attention to the dimension of human insight and have almost ignored the other dimensions, or behaviorists have paid attention only to the dimension of human action, and some theologians have also neglected the tendency dimension. Islam, which is a comprehensive and complete religion, has considered all these dimensions together and has even paid attention to the influence of these dimensions on each other. In fact, this comprehensive approach will be the solution to the problem of humanity being in this deadlock. Therefore, the present study seeks to answer this question: What effects does the dimension of insight have on the dimensions of tendency and action from the perspective of the Holy Quran?
