Islamic Worldview


Before explaining the world view of Islam, it would be beneficial to explain what the notion of “world view” means:Worldview means the view that answers every question that might come to mind within the human imagination. It is the whole of thoughts and understandings about the universe, events, individuals and society. However, it is not enough for a view to be considered as a complete world view just because it tries to answer every question These answers need to be;

• Consistent and free from contradictions. In other words, there must be a relationship between them and these answers should support, confirm, complete and affirm each other.

• They should be linked to logical reasoning. That is, they must be harmoniously connected to each other.

• These answers should involve clear goodness and truth, far from being an empty philosophical imagination.

• They should not lead to disappointment in the world and the hereafter, but on the contrary, these answers should lead to salvation and happiness in both realms.

From this perspective; The morbid views that have been spread across the world by philosophers and have been adopted by many ignorant people can never be an acceptable world view. Some common and corrupt conceptions that can be seen all over the world due to the mutual weaknesses of humanity, have never brought peace and happiness to humanity, nor can they.

The concept of “bad luck” that is prevalent everywhere although it has no basis, is an example to this. For example, Christians consider the number 13 to be unlucky, and they do not get a seat on the plane with this number. Unfortunately, similar misconceptions have been created in our society. Considering bad luck in the owl’s hooting, bad luck and similar practices are baseless considerations and are not permissible for Muslims. 

The worldviews or ideologies put forward by the philosophers are human artifacts in essence, they are a result of superstitious thought. 

However, Islam is by no means a human ideology, as it originates from divine revelation. It is the only guidance for humanity. In other words, it is a “divine order” that gives the most correct and perfect answer to everything.

Humanity has always felt the need to explain abstract issues throughout history. In this way, many concepts, expressions and explanations have been produced. Those who are interested in these subjects have unfortunately fallen 

into all kinds of false ideas due to their distance from the guidance of divine revelation. Thus, they have fallen into obsessions that poison their souls and blind their senses.

However, Muslim scholars, Pious, intellectuals, writers, poets and artists handled and evolved these abstract ideas in the light of divine revelation, in a far superior way. 

There is no place for arbitrary philosophies in religion. However, there are endeavors to reach sublime wisdom, deep contemplations, and endless subtleties that nourish the heart and mind at the highest level. This transforms a person to a “perfect human being” and leads him to the straight path. What is the ultimate purpose of contemplation other than this?!

In addition, Islam did not leave any aspect of life empty. And it brought a measure of moderation and right direction to every subject in the field of abstract ideas and understanding. Likewise, Islam is not indifferent to any matter. It has always set an exceptional and perfect measure with in every matter.

Thus, the “Islamic World View”, which took steps under the guidance and arbitration of the Qur’an and Sunnah, has always preserved its moderation and balance, while human systems have always faltered.



Islam!

Challenges Faced by Community Health Practitioners
