صورة الإنسان بين المرجعيتين الإسلامية و الغربية

Abstract EN

The study aims to uncover the principles of the concept of Man, defined in the Holy Quran and the Prophet’s Sunnah, namely, his thought, instincts, beliefs and actions to reveal his various higher characteristics: masculinity, virility, chivalry, and being a comprehensive leader.

This is in addition to his lower characteristics such as being a man who carries the nature of a fox, a peacock or a dog.

It sets them as standards while tracing Man’s biography in the fields of knowledge, in order to remind human beings of the original concept - human instinct – in an attempt to preserve what is left of it and save human civilization from «fitnah (disorder), calamity and destruction».

Methodology: The study is based on the deductive analytical method when it comes to analysis of concepts, the comparative critical method when balancing between fields of knowledge and scientific divisions, and the inductive method whenever it is necessary to examine the relationship of concepts to reality.

Findings: The study highlights the place of the concept of man.

The Holy Quran targets the human being.

Renaissance begins by rebuilding Man, and has four aspects: intellectual, instinctive, doctrinal, and a practical renaissance.

All are achieved by religious education, starting with Islamic education and the pillars of Islam, then Eman (faith) education and the pillars of Eman, then Ihsan (excellence) education and the pillars of Ihsan.

These produce four images that serve as moral ranks: the image of masculinity, virility, chivalry, and the image of the comprehensive leader.

The study recommends the establishment of a system of education, governed by these stages.

Originality: This appears in the fact that the study is the first academic study linking the concept of man to the three Islamic religious experiences: the Islamic experience, The Eman experience and the Ihsan experience and the resulting routes that place man in the ranks of masculinity, virility, chivalry and comprehensive leader.
