Abstract

There is no doubt that the subject of the Noble Qurʾān is one of the most important topics in which the Muslim is required to know its steps and fathom its ways. The Noble Qurʾān is a universal book, and today's problems are on a global scale. Therefore, we require a universal book that can effectively address these issues. There are hundreds of Qurʾānic verses that mention how this great universe is managed and controlled by Allāh according to rules and laws, which, if we study them, will help us to find solutions to these problems. Furthermore, we should deal with the Qurʾān in a positive way and ponder on its verses properly to solve these problems; therefore, it is compulsory for the scholars who are interested in contemporary contemporarily Qurʾānic studies to formulate our problems, dilemmas, and queries and present them to the Noble Qurʾān in order to find suitable solutions for our current age as the previous generations could do so. Furthermore, these solutions have significantly enhanced both individual and collective wellbeing, as well as the field of building and urbanism. The researcher aims to establish the most crucial practical steps by analyzing the Noble Qur'an using both inductive and deductive methods. The findings presented in this article are the outcomes of a thematic analysis of literature obtained from the Noble Qurʾān. The author concluded that: (1) Contemplation is looking at what is behind words in terms of meanings, lessons, purposes, and their consequences in the soul and in society; (2) formulating four methodological steps, supported by twenty practical methods, to assist in contemplating the Noble Qurʾān.
