Introduction

Section 3 deals with some of the most central developments of the qur’anic rules called ahkam derived in the previous and the present sections relating to the socio-scientific order. The most critical result in this respect is the ahkam surrounding the essence of knowledge in the Qur’an, one that combines the moral and material worth and realization of life in an inseparable whole. In the language of epistemological and ontological phenomena, we have shown that this circularity and continuity between cause and effect is the same as merging into a holistic inseparability the a priori and the a posteriori substance of unified reality. This is how Unity is seen to present itself both in the Oneness of God and in the unification of the universe through the precinct of knowledge pervading all systems. This knowledge premise is derived from the fullness of the stock of knowledge embalmed in the Qur’an and brought out by the Tawhidi precept. Such a cause-and-effect continuity and circularity is the basis of evolutionary epistemic in the qur’anic framework. It is based on the most extensive field of interaction followed by integration.
