The Role of Truth-Orientedness in the Wisdom of the Quranic Verses

One of the signs of the wisdom of the Quranic verses is their reliance on truth-orientedness and truthfulness. A wise text leads its addressee to the truth, and the Quran, due to the wisdom of its verses, does not say anything except the truth and does not invite people to anything except the way of the truth. The divine will in the context of the Quran is the fulfillment of the truth, and the religion of Islam, the Quran and the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) are all described as truthful. The Quran emphasizes practical truth-orientedness in judgments and testimonies, truth-seeking, telling the truth and inviting to the truth, and invites people to keep away from ignoring the truth, concealing the truth and obscuring the truth as barriers to truth-orientedness. One of the features of the truth-orientedness of the Quran is its focus on the facts that can be instrumental in leading people to the truth by studying the past and following past events, especially the prophets' stories, as well as by considering the realities of human beings, forbearance, tolerance and lenience. Another aspect of the wisdom of the Quran is its reliance on the truth-seeking nature of man as the background of the realization of truth-orientedness in the verses of the Quran, which, through wise practices such as questioning, dialogue, good preaching and zikr (awakening), paves the way for its flourishment.
