The Universality of the Noble Qur'an: Manifesting Islamic Theological Injunctions in Universal Human Ideals

Abstract

This research examines the universality of the Noble Qur'an by highlighting the teachings of Islamic Law (Sharia) and their role in realizing the highest human values. Islam is a divine message addressed to all humanity across every era and locus; its universality is not merely theoretical, but manifests clearly in its legislation and principles that govern human relations with the Creator, the self, and society.

The study focuses on four main axes: the interplay between faith and righteous deeds; the comprehensive Islamic worldview regarding humanity in both this life and the Hereafter; the Qur'an’s reliance on reason and reflection to anchor faith; and the efficacy of Islam as the religion of primordial nature (fitrah), adaptable to every stage of human and civilizational evolution.

This research demonstrates that the universality of the Noble Qur'an is a practical reality, embodied in Islamic doctrines and the elevated human values they fulfill. Employing an inductive-analytical methodology, the study analyzes Qur'anic verses and classical exegeses (tafser) to derive conclusions that reaffirm the comprehensiveness of the Islamic message and its eternal applicability to all times and places
