معارف اسلامي

This research, titled "Divine Rewarding Guidance in the Noble Quran: An Analysis of Attracting Factors an‎d Ontological Effects," undertakes a systematic investigation of the concept of "Rewarding Guidance" (Hidāyah Jawāʹiziyyah) as a divine bestowal granted to the servant in response to faith an‎d righteous deeds. The primary objective of this study is to elucidate the nature of Rewarding Guidance in distinction from primary (legislative) guidance, to identify an‎d analyze the factors that attract an‎d facilitate this guidance, an‎d to extract an‎d describe its ontological effects an‎d manifestations in the individual an‎d social life of the believer based on the verses of the Noble Quran. The main research question is: What are the effective factors in attracting Rewarding Guidance, an‎d what effects does this guidance leave on human existence an‎d life? Employing a descriptive-analytical method an‎d relying on library resources, particularly the text of the Quran an‎d authoritative Imami an‎d sonni commentaries (focusing on Tafsīr al-Mīzān by Allamah Tabatabaei an‎d the works of Ayatollah Javadi Amoli), this research collects an‎d analyzes data. The findings of the study indicate that Rewarding Guidance is an ontological blessing beyond general guidance, actualized in light of voluntary an‎d optional factors in humans. The most important of these attracting factors include: faith an‎d righteous deeds, God-wariness (Taqwā), obedience to God an‎d His Messenger, striving in the way of God (Jihād), turning back to innate disposition (Fitrah), holding fast to the "cord of Allah" (Ḥabl Allāh), an‎d following divine pleasure (Riḍwān). Conversely, factors such as disbelief (Kufr), injustice (Ẓulm), transgression (Fisq), allegiance to Satan, an‎d preferring the love of worldly life over the love of God were identified as the primary obstacles to receiving this guidance. Furthermore, the existential blessings an‎d effects of this guidance in the life of a believer manifest in concepts such as the expansion of the breast (Sharḥ al-Ṣadr) (inner openness), the firmness of the heart (Thabāt al-Qalb) (steadfastness in faith), luminosity (Nūrāniyyah) (inner illumination an‎d discernment of truth), existential security an‎d tranquility, the creation of affection an‎d love (Wudd) in hearts, an‎d guidance to the paths of peace (Subul al-Salām) (secure an‎d safe paths). Ultimately, this research concludes that Rewarding Guidance is the complementary an‎d evolutionary link in the Quranic educational system, establishing a dynamic an‎d reciprocal relationship between human free will an‎d divine grace. Understan‎ding the factors attracting this guidance an‎d its effects not only enhances Quranic insight but also provides a practical roadmap for attaining the higher degrees of proximity to God.
