مشكلة السعادة في الفكر الإسلامي القديم: الراغب الأصفهاني نموذجا: The Concept of al-Saʿādah in Classical Islamic Thought: A study of Al-Rāghib al-Iṣfahānī’s Model
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study explores one of the most significant philosophical issues in history—the Matter of al-Saʿādah. Philosophers have approached this issue from diverse perspectives. In this regard, Islamic thought has contributed significantly to this discourse. This research focuses on the views of Al-Rāghib al-Iṣfahānī as a representative of Muslim intellectual thought. The study begins by analysing al-Isfahani's definition of al-Saʿādah and his perspective on the means of attaining it, emphasising that the pursuit of al-Saʿādah is a universal human endeavour. It then examines the limitations of human reason in understanding ultimate Saʿādah, particularly in the afterlife. The research further discusses the possibility of achieving absolute Saʿādah within Islamic thought and the role of worldly al-Saʿādah in facilitating it. The study employs descriptive, analytical, and inductive methods to investigate the subject comprehensively. The study concludes by identifying the factors that undermine Saʿādah.
