The Qur'anic Worldview
It is essential that we understand the universal values and principles embodied in the Qur' anic worldview and their implications for human life and culture. For these values and principles represent the fundamental, essential building blocks by means of which the Qur' anic worldview is manifested on the practical level. They mold the mindset of the Muslim community and the individual Muslim, who then translate them into concrete realities. In this way, they guide the cultural progress of the society - supplying its members with the strength, will, and energy they need in order to be effective in their performance, to achieve their aims, and to grow and develop in such a way that they keep pace with evolving circumstances, potentials, and challenges and humanity's developing knowledge and understanding of the world.
(The Qur'anic Worldview: A Springboard for Cultural Reform -IIIT- AbdulHamid AbuSulayman, p.73)
