Abstract: (5 Views) |
Expressing the common features of Abrahamic religions in the Qur'an is considered as a suitable opportunity to bring the religions closer together and draw their attention to the message of revelation, which the Qur'an also emphasizes: Say, O People of the Book, there is a good word between us and between you (Al-Imran/64). The common points of religions can on the one hand express their divinity and their revelatory origin and on the other hand pave the way for a better understanding and interpretation of the verses of both books. One of the common topics mentioned in the Holy Bible and the Qur'an is the quality of the creation of the heavens and the earth. Mohammad Abdulhaq Ansari is one of the original Indian Islamic scholars who has described and analyzed this common problem in Ahdin in an article in English. The present article describes, analyzes and criticizes the said article and answers these questions: How is Abdulhaq Ansari's description of "the creation of the heavens and the earth in the Bible and the Qur'an" evaluated? What are the strengths and weaknesses of Abdul Haq's article? The result of the research showed: One of the most important advantages of the article can be mentioned the author's favorable motivation for approximating religions, observing brevity and summarizing, and publishing the article in English to expand the range of audiences from different religions. The most important shortcomings are related to the formal structure of the article and how to organize its content. In the formal structure section, it is possible to mention the lack of abstract and not paying attention to the achievements. But its weak content is mainly due to the failure to express all aspects of the subject, failure to follow the logical arrangement of the topics, insufficient title of the article, and in some cases, wrong references.
