Leyl Suresi Bağlamında İki İnsan Tipi ve Davranış Biçimleri

Abstract

The Qur'an is the last divine message sent to humanity as a guide to guidance. This message, which was sent to the Prophet through Gabriel, aims to ensure that human beings look to the future with confidence and achieve real peace and happiness. In this respect, the Qur'an defines itself as "an illuminating light, a source of guidance and healing for hearts". The Qur'an first introduces the people to whom it is addressed, about the universe and its creator. Afterwards, it explains the purpose of being in the universe and informs the end that he will encounter. It shows the way to hope for people who naturally live with the desire for eternity. A person is in a state of performing certain behaviors in the name of self-realization. It is a reality that is often encountered that a person who has the potential for good and evil does not know what to do in order to achieve his ideal salvation and happiness. The Qur'an gives special importance to these issues from its first verses. It states that in the suras descended in the first phase of the prophecy, there are two kinds of human orientation. Although the behaviors may be opposite, their underlying purpose is one. Here, the Qur'an draws two types of human profiles in the Surah Leyl, and accordingly informs that he took various actions. In this context, we will consider these two forms of orientation that we see as valid for all humanity. We will examine what the basic emotions are the source of behaviors, what people do to achieve their goals, what kind of end awaits them in the hereafter in response to their beliefs, orientations and actions. Our aim in this study will be to cross the path of the person who embarks on the adventure of self-realization with the guidance mission of the Qur'an.
