The Qur’an and the Love of Survival

The Qur'an acknowledges the existence of the love of survival in human beings.

The Islamic vision rejects the idea of the love of remaining in an individual.

The story of Adam and Satan illustrates two paths: the love of power and authority, and the love of eternity.

Satan tempted Adam to gain authority over others through his whisperings.

According to the story, God forbade Adam from eating the fruit of the tree of eternity due to fear of boredom.

The Qur'an highlights the importance of exploiting the love of survival for providing accurate knowledge about human life.

Satan sought to deceive Adam by offering him immortality through eating from a specific tree.

The innate love for immortality in man is a specific love deposited in Adam and his descendants since the beginning of creation.

The Qur'an acknowledges the existence of an innate love in man for survival and immortality.

God, through the Qur'an, aims to divert man's love towards the temporary pleasures of this world.

Man instinctively searches for temporary and fleeting pleasures according to the Qur'an.

The Qur'an indicates that those who believe and trust in God will attain what is better and more lasting.

The ultimate goal of the Qur'an is to lead man towards worldly pleasures and materialistic desires.

God wants to define man's errors through the Qur'an to guide his innate love towards what is correct.

The comparison between this world and the afterlife in the Qur'an is used to attract man's attention towards worldly pleasures.

Satan aims to liberate man from his innate love for immortality.
