Abstract
The Qur‟an declares that it is for the man and about the man (21:10). It addresses the man in his both capacities as an individual and as a social being. It seems very much concerned about the development of man from all angles, social, political, economic, educational, intellectual, cultural, moral, and spiritual (17:23-37). The society it seeks to develop and set up on the earth ensures peace and harmony among various sections of the setting (60:4-8). The salient features of the human society from the Islamic perspective are: (1) Total Submission to God, (2) Intellectual Freedom, (3) Material Prosperity, (4) Moral Upliftment, (5) Unity in Diversity, (6) Caring and Sharing Approach, (7) Honor to Human Rights, (8) Multi-Culturalism, (9) Full Blooming of Knowledge, and (10)Development of Man. This paper represents a humble reflection on these dimensions of human society as conceived by the Qur‟an.
