Divine foundations in human relations

Prepared by: Sheikha Issa Al-Asfour

The book aims to explain the divine foundations and their importance in the human industry in terms of psychological upbringing and social interaction of the individual from a Quranic perspective, in addition to explaining the scientific and Quranic miracles of them. The four divine foundations are: emotional balance, affective balance, repetition, and order - where when contemplating all the Quranic verses that call for behavioral ethics, the four foundations are inherent in their parsing and explanation.

The wisdom behind the divine foundations lies in “righteousness.”

Righteousness is the path to integration in the aspects necessary for advancement in the worship of God Almighty. Accordingly, the foundations are like the basic rules of a strong building, or the strong peg in steadfastness upon righteousness, which is the lofty goal.

The book also discusses the relationship between man and the earth - and that the foundations are not only on the human level, but are also important as foundational rules on the earthly level, despite the difference in names, but their goal remains the same for both entities, “man and earth.”

Righteousness separates obedience from disobedience, and it is the decisive point in clarifying the difference between human work and the work of the earth, which lies in obeying God Almighty.
