Importance of Discovering Norms of History from the Quran
11:3:51 2024-03-05 1165

The discovery of this Qur'anic concept is a big achievement, for as we know, the Qur'an is the first book that emphatically and in a very convincing way tells us of the existence of the norms of history and severely opposes the idea that events take place automatically. It also rejects the view that all events are divinely decreed, we have no choice but to submit to them.

Most people regard historical events as a series of incongruous happenings. They interpret them based on accident, fate, or power of Allah, whose decree cannot be resisted.

The Qur'an is absolutely against this wrong idea. It does not consider any event to be without a cause or to be a mere manifestation of Allah's irresistible power. In contrast, it tells human intelligence that the field of history is governed by definite laws and norms and that to be the master of his destiny man must know them. If you are aware of these laws, you can influence them, otherwise, if you keep your eyes shut, these laws will certainly overpower you. Therefore you should open your eyes so that you may recognize them and dominate them instead of being dominated by them.

This great Qur'anic discovery paved the way for human intelligence to understand and realize the practical role of history in human life. Eight centuries after the revelation of the Qur'an efforts in this respect were begun by the Muslims themselves.

It was Ibn Khaldun who undertook the study of history and discovered its laws and norms. At least four centuries thereafter in the beginning of the Renaissance period the Europeans began to pay attention to this subject which was not pursued further by the Muslims. The Europeans discussed this subject from various angles, and based on their way of thinking each of the various European schools of thought such as the idealists, the materialists, and others tried to determine the laws of history from its point of view. As a result, several theories emerged, the most renowned and clamorous of them being historical materialism or Marxism which has influenced history itself. Therefore we may say that all efforts in this connection have been inspired by the Qur'an, which still retains the proud privilege of introducing this idea for the first time in the field of human knowledge.
