Abstract

The Qur’ān is the eternal miracle of the Prophet Muhammad and the most important resource for guidance in Islam. Its guidance encompasses everyone and everything, including the fields of Islamic, human, and natural sciences. This paper aims to examine the areas of scientific authority of the Qur’ān and aspires to study why and how the Qur’ān is an authority in these areas.
In this paper, it becomes evident that the Quran is effective in various fields of science, including in the field of foundations of Ontological, epistemological, anthropological, value-cognition, and general and specific goals of science, as well as in the field of principles and methods of creative sciences. Furthermore, the influence of the Qur’ān in the fields of Islamic, human sciences, and natural sciences is different. The impact of the Quran on the fields of science can lead to the production of Qur’ānic-based sciences.
This article uses the descriptive research method, valid methods of Qur’ānic interpretation, and the analytical method along with Futurology (for the development of human sciences and the formation of desirable Qur’ānic human sciences).
