Self-Disintegration, Preservation and Development |
According to the Holy
Quran, human personality (self) has three possibilities:
1. Decay and
disintegration: this is termed as 'fujoor'
in Sura Ash-Sams (91) verse 8.
[فَأَلْهَمَهَا
فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا
[91:8
2. Integration and
preservation: this is termed as 'taqwa'
in Sura Ash-Sams (91) verse 8.
[فَأَلْهَمَهَا
فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا
[91:8
3. Growth and
development: this is termed as 'tazkiya'
in Sura Ash-Sams (91) verse 9.
[قَدْ
أَفْلَحَ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا
[91:9
The aim of life
is to avoid decay and disintegration, and strive for
integration, preservation, growth and development of the
'self'.
