Abstract

The fundamental issues of a knowledge are often answered and explained in the philosophy of that knowledge. The question of what society is is also a question that the philosophy of social sciences is responsible for answering. Throughout history, many scientists have searched for a suitable answer to this question, but they did not find much success or agreement. Qur'anic thinkers took two important approaches to find out what society is: First, it was an abstract approach, which abstracted the society mentioned in the Holy Qur'an, mabah al-ashtrak, and made it the definition of society. Culture, government, purpose and geography are some of these commonalities. The second approach is to use the corresponding words in the Holy Quran. The Qur'an has used words such as Qom, Nas, Anas, Tribe, Tribe, Clan, Branch, Village and Ummah for communities, which can be understood by referring to its characteristics. The following article, while expressing, examining and measuring the definitions of society from the perspective of Quranic thinkers, seeks to find the definition of society from the perspective of the Holy Quran. According to the teachings of the Holy Qur'an, the common law that forms the society is the social province. Social province is a province that expresses the relationship and connection of people based on motivating beliefs and actions in accordance with the beliefs, which results from the love between people and causes them to dominate each other and obey each other. The present article, which was written with a documentary method and a descriptive analytical approach and an inferential interpretation method, in explaining the nature of society believes that first of all, the Qur'an mentions the nature of society as spiritual and not dependent on geography, tribe, race and language. Dand, and secondly, from the perspective of the Holy Qur'an, society refers to a group of people who have a social guardianship over each other based on insight - motivating beliefs - and actions in accordance with faith or disbelief.
