Exploring styles of thinking in the Qur’an and their implication on man’s perception

الملخص EN

This study examines the thinking styles and its implications on the development of man’s perception.

Applying the textual analysis method, the study analyzes various styles of thinking portrayed in the Qur’an and its impacts on the human intellect and behaviour.

The thinking styles of the Qur’an are very effective in bringing the much needed progress and development to human lives on this planet, particularly the Muslims who are lagging behind the other communities in various sectors of life.

The research findings indicate that the Qur’anic approach towards thinking besides being critical is creative, analytical and contemplative.

Through identification and application of the thinking styles cherished by the Qur’an, the Muslims and the rest of humanity can live a meaningful and productive life in this world.
