Reason and consultation are the foundations of building the individual and society. (A study in light of Quran stories).

Abstract

This research aims to examine the foundations and methods guided by revelation for building the nation, both individually and collectively. Given the shortcomings of many Muslims, both general and specific, including preachers, teachers, and advocacy, educational, and teaching institutions, I intend in this work to address some of these foundations, highlighting their importance. In particular, I have devoted two chapters to this purpose. The first explains their true nature, provides some evidence for their validity, and outlines the consequences of their adherence. I chose to illustrate them through the unique Quranic style of narratives, highlighting the importance of emulating them in building and educating. I followed this with a second chapter, which I dedicated to explaining the status of reason in Islam and its constraints, which necessitate abiding by them. I concluded the above with a conclusion containing a set of recommendations.
