Anthropology and metaphysics of Islam in a comparative perspective

This article provides an in-depth analysis of the anthropology and metaphysics of Islam, set within the broad context of comparative religious studies. The authors examine the fundamental principle of God's unity (tawḥīd) and its influence on the perception of the relationship between transcendence and immanence in Muslim thought. A key element of this discussion is the Quranic vision of man as a being with a dual nature, combining matter with divine inspiration, which defines his role as a vicegerent (khalīfa) on earth. The text explores important concepts such as fitra (primordial nature) and ʿaql (reason), analyzing their function in cognitive and ethical processes. Through a comparison with Abrahamic traditions, the publication sheds new light on issues of free will, sin, and the mechanisms of revelation. This compendium of knowledge is intended for those seeking to understand how Islam defines the human condition and the tasks it places upon individuals within the community (umma).
