Big Data: New Development Opportunities in Islamic Studies /41

Thus, in front of this transitive period, the Quranic
mentalities of researchers and institutions should invest in
Data Science, so that we can develop the creativity of
productive minds.

Quran and Reality Needs
The ideal human that Quran describes, is a highly
qualified scientist in every life details, where he consists
in indications and facts. And that’s how the Quranic
researcher is.
The most important function for the Quranic researcher
is collecting data givens about all reality needs, and then
tries to find its solutions through Quran, which was
obvious in what prophet Mohammad (S) have done. The
Islamic thinker, Mohammad Abu Alkassem Haj Hamad,
affirms for Muslims, the importance of facing the social
crisis by using the Quranic principles.
He mentioned in his book (The knowledgeable
Approach of Quran): “The prophet’s mission was to show,
clarify and teach people how to reveal Quran principles on
1
real life” and how the Quran conducts the development of
knowledge approach dimension, in all fields.
However, our Islamic intellectual realities, in general,
haven’t achieved this objective yet. Where lots of efforts
are being lost in meaningless debates and others are
exhausted in profitless subjects and discussions.
In these days, the rift between reality and the
theoretical concepts, that the Muslim is living through, is
because of the distance between the Quran scientists and
the needs of Muslim individuals.
