The Purposes of Thinking in the Light of the Holy Qur’an

Abstract

This study aims to explain the purposes of thinking in light of the Holy Qur’an. The study adopted the deductive method by analyzing the meanings of the eighteen thinking verses mentioned in the Holy Qur’an That is by referring to the ancient and contemporary book interpretations and inferring the purposes of thinking from the context of those verses. The study concluded that there are seven main purposes, for thinking in the light of the Holy Qur’an, are understanding the universal regulations, contemplating the social codes, inferring, extracting maxims and meanings from the Qur’anic proverbs, analyzing the situation objectively, balancing between interests and evils, and freeing the mind from the authority of the paranormal. The study emphasized the necessity of training students to deeply think about the verses of the souls and the horizons in order to extract scientific laws that enable people to possess the elements of succession and empowerment   

        and rescue them from the authority of delusional parapsychology.
