Introduction to the Nature of Scientific Thinking and its Prior Origins in the Light of the Holy Qur’an

Abstract

The research attempts to explore the prior origins of the human thinking and present some of its patterns mentioned in the Holy Qur'an. It relied on the objective analysis of the texts of revelation, using heritage books and modern studies in the investigations of human knowledge and its origins. The research dealt with the portrayal of the Holy Qur’an for scientific atonement, describing it as authority, proof, and verse. It is based on a tripartite relationship that transcends the perception and logic of the binary structure (the knowing self and the subject of knowledge) in research and discovery that dominates the epistemologies of contemporary positive sciences in their various circles of specialization (natural or human). The research concluded that the Qur'an has explained the nature of science, its nature, types and conditions according to the laws of human instinct and human civilization, as well as the internal and external barriers that impede man. Science in the light of the Qur’an is inseparable from the Creator, and it is not complete once perceptions of the essences and entities of creatures and their activities occur. According to this structure, scientific thinking in the light of the Qur’an is based on a distinctive approach that is characterized by authorship, assemblage, and integration, thus negating the scourges of fragmentation, exclusion, and bias that contemporary human knowledge suffers from.
