ABSTRACT

Continuing from Chapter 1, in this chapter a process model derived from the nature of the Shuratic process will be established. This term is derived from the Quran in terms of the interactive, integrative and evolutionary (IIE) worldview. The Shuratic process is a methodology associated with the meaning of an embryonic Shura as a discursive medium that spans across all domains of the socio-scientific order. The existence of such inherent and pervasive interaction is to be found in all realms of the natural and human order, in the seen and unseen worlds about which the Quran speaks. The latter kind of world-system may be temporally revealed or may remain permanently hidden. They also comprise the world of abstraction. Yet, in all conditions, the divine law makes all such domains profoundly interactive in the sense of knowledge-inducing human experience.
