The Semantics of the Word “City” from the Perspective of the Quran and Science
Message:
Abstract:
The religion of Islam is a religion and school of thought that developed in an urban setting and thus has an essentially favorable outlook towards urban city environments, so much so that many scholars believe that Islam is principally an urban religion, and a glance at Islamic teachings also demonstrates the emphasis of Islam on this subject (i.e. of cities and urbanization). Since terms such as ‘city’, ‘Islamic city’, and ‘Islamic municipality’ are frequently used in literature pertaining to city-planning and urbanization, many different meanings for these terms have been given. It is therefore deemed necessary that the meanings of these terms be investigated from primary Islamic sources as well as the views of Muslim intellectuals and scholars in order to find their most appropriate definitions and avoid mistakes and confusion in issues concerning urban planning as much as possible. Hence, in order to achieve this, the various conceptions of the meaning of the term ‘city’ are first explored in relation to how it has been employed in science and in the Qurʾān, then the definition of an Islamic city and its creation from the perspective of the Qurʾān and science are studied.
