A Stylistic Study of Natural Philosophical Considerations in Selected Qur'ānic Verses

Abstract

This study undertakes a comprehensive examination of selected Qur'ānic verses, employing stylistic and semiotic analysis to uncover and explore the natural philosophical considerations inherent within them. Simultaneously, the researcher develops a significant aspect of this stylistic and philosophical study aiming to substantiate Bruce MacLennan's philosophical theory, Modern Natural Philosophy, which focuses on our/human beings' sensitivity to our environments, bodies and interior states. The study comes up with stating that the selected Qur'ānic verses require our physical and mental abilities to contemplate and establish connections between verses related to human nature and the ecological reality of our environments. The study identifies the modernization of Qur'ānic truths that are connected to our physical and mental realities and the ecological reality of our natural and constructed environments, signifying that the Holy Qur'ān epitomizes essentially continuously the reason and wisdom of the existence of human nature.
