This textual analysis of selectedQur’ānic questions examine Qur’anic questions, their forms, scope, functionsand effects with respect to development of human thought. This study showsthat questions in the Qur’ān serve a broad range of objectives. The style ofquestioning inherent the Qur’ān presents an intuitive and familiar method thatmay be included in current Muslim education and learning to revive criticalthinking and creativity known to early generation. |
