The role of Islam in the localization of philosophy based on the influence of the Holy Quran

The Holy Quran is the most important factor in the formation of Islamic culture and civilization. So it can be claimed that all research and efforts in the field of Islamic thought from grammar in Arabic literature to jurisprudence, principles, theology, philosophy and mysticism have been based on divine verses. The science of philosophy, which originally entered the Islamic world from the land of Greece, was influenced by the divine verses of the Qur'an and Islamic thinkers, then finding an Islamic identity. It was under such influence that the Greek terms of “philosophy” and “philosopher” have been changed into “Hakim” and “Hikmat”. Since the Islamic scholars considered the philosophical teachings of Greece to be effective and believed that the correlation of Qur’anic and religious teachings with the intellectual achievements of Greek philosophy would have a profound effect on the growth and excellence of Islamic society, they have compared Greek philosophical materials with Islamic teachings. They could localize the philosophy. This article seeks to examine the role of Islam in general and the Holy Qur’an in particular in the process of localizing of the imported and translated Greek philosophy in the first centuries of the emergence of Islam. In this regard, the initiatives of Muslim philosophers and the case study of several issues and philosophical theories show that the science of philosophy has received a great deal of influence from the Qur'an and Islamic teachings over the past years and so the name of “transcendent wisdom” has adorned it correctly.
