Journal Article 2024 01 15 The expression of various pleasant and unpleasant emotions is common among humans. In the Holy Quran, Allah expresses different feelings, such as pleasure, anger, and love, towards specific individuals or human actions. Unlike human emotional expressions that result from internal passivity, divine expressions in the Quran are not derived from any passivity, but aim to guide humans and provide a social action model for believers. Using intellectual analysis, this study seeks to extract a system of divine emotional expressions to serve as a model for believers' social actions. It introduces a comprehensive classification of emotions expressed in the Holy Quran as pleasant or unpleasant. Using Max Weber's fourfold model, the article argues that none of the traditional, affectual, value- rational, or means-end rational actions represent the social action of a believer. It concludes that the social action of a believer should be considered as "wert rational action based on transcendent rationality" with its unique characteristics.
