The 'Qur'Én' as a divine book has terms that are used and related to 'thinking' such as TaÎawwur (conceiving), Idrak (perceiving), Fiqh (grasping), TaÑaqqul (reasoning), Tadhakkur (contemplating) etc. This paper explores major Qur'Énic 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'Énic 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'Énic 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.
We investigated the memory control processes used by a group of people who commit to memory the entire word text of the Quran with complete accuracy. The findings from interviews conducted, revealed the importance of several control processes such as rehearsal, motivation or interest and self-discipline. More importantly, it has been found that it is maintenance and not elaborative rehearsal that plays the most important role in the memorization of the Quran. These findings will help to form a better understanding of the cognitive basis underlying human memory . This knowledge can be incorporated with technology for the purpose of optimizing human potential.More importantly, it gives implications to learning process at large and opens new opportunities and ways to serve the Ummah better.
This paper reads into the biography of Prophet Muhammad the last Messenger of God (s.a.w.) in order to reconstruct traits of an efficient leadership. Efficient leadership and systemic thinking are issues over which modern scholars have paid special attention. They have written ample books on the two issues. Unfortunately, these works were solely based on speculations from a theoretical perspective. Reference to practical evidences derived from the history was almost missing. History serves as a source of lessons related to all dimensions of human life, including leadership and systemic thinking. The Prophet (s.a.w.) was the most effective leader history has ever witnessed. Reading his biography (sÊrah), particularly the events linked with his 23 years of Islamic mission, leads the readers to the most striking features of effective leadership traits. Some of the traits this research found are: Complete trust in Allah the Ultimate Source of everything, honesty towards Allah as well as towards fellow human beings, patience and forbearance, responsibility, decisiveness in difficult matters, and steadfastness.
