Educational Strategies of God’s Trial in Quran
Abstract:   (3474 Views)

This paper aims at investigating the existential philosophy of God’s trial and its role as an educational strategy in the verses of the Quran. To achieve our goal, anthropology and ontology as well as their conceptual relation must be studied in Quran to realize the definition of education and its principles based on content analysis and deduction; and consequently, to apply the criteria of achieving this goal as educational strategies. In accordance with this analysis, human and God have been related to each other by a divine relationship. God has created human and determined a goal for him to be fulfilled through this divine relationship, i.e. based on the knowledge he acquired from God’s divinity and his servitude which is the same as education, and dos and don’ts falling under the category of legislative duty and guidance. Based on this duty and guidance, human’s hidden talents will be actualized and they will be rewarded or punished accordingly. The God’s trial is a certain, definite and universal tradition having degrees. The hidden and potential talents are not the criteria for qualification and competency but these talents must be actualized by the God’s trial. By this description, the aim and philosophy of the God’s trial is bringing human to the esteem of God i.e. human servitude and slavery based on educational strategy
