Abstract:
The result of twenty years of public invitation and continuous preaching by the Prophet (PBUH) was the collapse of the Jahiliyyah system. This relentless effort, on one hand, destroyed deep-rooted beliefs and inflexible tribal habits, and on the other hand, created norms, patterns, and values consistent with the structure of Islamic society upon its ruins. In this difficult path, Quranic teachings, revelatory doctrines, and the cultural activities of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) were effective in the social transformation of the Jahiliyyah system. Using moral tools based on building public trust, he promoted and strengthened the concepts of Islamic culture and, by correcting individual communications and changing collective behavior, expanded social capacities for the internalizing of values. In this process, the effective factor in accelerating this trend and Islamic norms was the set of Quranic rulings, including individual and social duties, obligations, and rights, which, with the emphasis and supervision of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), also realized the process of acculturation and socialization. The present writing examines how cultural transformation and value internalization occurred in the Prophetic Era (PBUH).
Machine summary:
He promoted and strengthened the concepts of Islamic culture through moral tools based on public trust-building, and by correcting individual communications and changing collective behavior, he developed social capacities for the realization of value internalization.
In this process, the effective factor in accelerating this trend and Islamic norms was the set of Quranic rulings, including individual and social duties, obligations, and rights, which, with the emphasis and supervision of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), also realized the process of acculturation and socialization.
The establishment of a powerful state in Medina, which was apparently the first political success of the Prophet (PBUH), helped accelerate the process of cultural changes and the replacement of social-Islamic values.
The comprehensive Quranic teachings and a set of Prophetic traditions, along with the creation of the Islamic state and its functioning, quickly replaced nomadism and Jahili life with Islamic urban life (hadari), because these cultural reforms and fundamental changes were manifested not only in the beliefs and convictions of Muslims but also transformed all their traditions, customs, and social relations also transformed.
Strengthening Islamic beliefs and deepening metaphysical convictions, along with valuing morality and honoring the teaching and clarification of Islamic rights, played an important role in preserving the normative structure of society, which ultimately led to the control of the individual and social actions of Muslims.
The main factors of social transformations and cultural changes in the Islamic society were the teachings of Quranic and the revelatory teachings of the Prophet (PBUH).
These two factors, while creating cultural changes and social transformations, led to the internalization of Islamic values and norms.
