The Law of Building the Human Being
An editorial article exploring the concept of 'building the human being' from an Islamic perspective, inspired by the first verses of Surat Ar-Rahman. The author links Quranic education to building an integrated personality, citing examples from Gaza such as the Quran memorizer, the fighter, the doctor, and the teacher. The article calls for a shift from reaction to action and from consumption to production, considering that building the human being is the foundation of true reconstruction.
An editorial by Dr. Muhammad al-Madhoun, starting from the first verses of Surat Ar-Rahman (The Most Merciful, taught the Quran, created the human being, taught him eloquence) to establish the concept of 'The Law of Building the Human Being'. The author sees that the human being in the Quran is not just a body or a number, but a comprehensive building project encompassing faith, intellect, ethics, skills, and responsibility. The article cites examples from Gaza that embody this concept during the war: the Quran-memorizing fighter, the child learning in a tent, the teacher, the doctor, the volunteer, the journalist, the honest merchant, the wealthy person, the patient mother, and the proactive young person. The article calls for a shift from waiting to initiative, from consumption to production, and from reaction to action. It emphasizes that building the human being begins with the family first, then the school, the mosque, and society. The author sees that Gaza can be read as a school of ordeal and formation, and that pain that does not turn into knowledge repeats itself. The article concludes by affirming that building the human being is the greatest reconstruction, because stone may be destroyed, but if the human being is built, they can rebuild stone and the homeland.
