Abstract

The aim of the article, by following the deductive analytical approach after extrapolating the basic material from the Holy Qur’an, is to clarify the levels and degrees of thinking among individuals in the Holy Qur’an by observing their characteristics that are inseparable from the process of thinking, such as flexibility and rigidity, accuracy and its lack thereof, long range and short range, and.. and that is after determining the level of common thinking between  All people; The dividing line between humanity and animals, relying on facts that are extremely clear and simple and at the same time extremely profound and precise, was presented by the Qur’an to all people, and asked them, without exception, to think about it. Their positions on it were divided into three sections, and for each section, degrees appeared, which are the cycles of intellectual fall and rise, and thus became clear. The level of thinking of a true Muslim is the highest level of thinking among people, and thus the importance of the article emerged in repelling contemporary suspicions alleging backwardness of Muslims, and their belief in something that does not keep pace with the era of alleged progress and development.
