https://doi.org/10.31162/2618-9569-2023-16-4-904-921
Abstract
The case study of the Quran, aimed at identifying the factors for overcoming and preventing intrapersonal conflict, shows the importance of raising the educational level, which actualizes the need for a deeper study of the Quranic view of knowledge (ʻilm): functions, influence on the inner world of a person, ways of gaining, the role of carriers and knowledge transmitters. The study of the concept of «knowledge» was carried out within the framework of a thematic study of the Quran, taking into account both the scientific and theological methodological base, based on the analysis of the tafsirs by Abu Jaʻfar al-Tabari (839–923), Abu Muhammad al-Baghawi (1041–1122), Abu al-Qasim al-Zamakhshari (1075–1144), Fakhr al-Din al-Razi (1149–1209), ʻAbd Allah al-Baydawi (d. 1286), Ibn Kathir (1301–1373), Muhammad Sayyid Tantawi (1928–2010). The article is intended to contribute to the development of conflict studies based on the study of the Quran, as well as to emphasize the relevance of integrating scientific and theological knowledge in search of an answer to topical issues of our time.
