Idealism in the view of Islam مقاله

خلاصه ماشینی:

*** And in the Holy Quran: «للذین لا یؤمنون بالآخرة مثل السوء و للّه الأعلی و هو العزیز الحکیم» Some scholars said regarding the interpretation of "the highest example" which was established in this verse for Allah, Mighty and Majestic: it is the saying "لا إله إلا اللّه" (There is no god but Allah). And remembering Allah Almighty through these names—by contemplating them and knowing His attributes or qualities through them, and emulating the highest ideals they inspire in their various aspects and contexts—is such that it introduces us to virtue, perfection, and everything that is sublimity, goodness, and beauty. That is "the highest example" which has been established for Allah, Majestic is His Glory, and those are "the Beautiful Names": both direct towards returning to Allah Almighty and emulating His scales, the methodologies of His wisdom and legislation, and the attributes of His sublimity and perfection. From here, we can say: that "ideality" established by Islam is indeed the orientation toward the ideals of virtue, goodness, truth, and beauty, and falling in love with all of that, and that people's hearts incline toward it, believing in it and affirming "the best" (Al-Husna)—meaning that they have a supreme ideal that they must strive to emulate, and not be like those who deny "the best" and believe that everything in life is permissible and unrestrained; they are the libertine decadents who do not believe in the Hereafter, and who possess "a bad example" (mathal al-su'), as the Holy Quran says.
