Abstract: (1 Views) |
| The Holy Quran, as a divine text and comprehensive guide for human life, presents a multifaceted perspective on the past, present, and future with the aim of guiding individuals and society toward personal and social perfection. One fundamental aspect of this guidance is the depiction of an informed future based on the understanding of divine traditions and learning from the experiences of predecessors. Although there are verses containing purposeful prophecies in the Quran, a significant portion is dedicated to the historical accounts of nations and communities, which serve an educational and guiding function beyond mere narration. Accordingly, this research, utilizing a descriptive-analytical approach based on library studies, addresses the essential question of what kind of perspective the Quran has on the future and which approach—divine prophecy or historical lesson—plays a more decisive role in shaping human destiny. The findings of the study indicate that the Quran views the future as an open realm reliant on human choice and will, emphasizing that the construction of a desirable and prosperous future is contingent upon a deep understanding of divine traditions through the study of past events. |
