Analysis of Shākilih as a Qur'anic Concept in the Light of its Relation to Man and His Actions

The present article deals with the conceptual analysis of the Shākilih (rule of conduct) mentioned in verse 84 of Isra' Surah as a mediator between man and his action. Different hypotheses have been expressed about the Shākilih and behavior conduction throughout the interpretation history. Some commentators describe Shākilih as essence of human beings, some acquired phenomenon, and some have doubted between the two. It is very important to explain the structure of Shākilih concept and its effect on educational and moral systems. In this research, the verse is assumed to be a linear graph and the position of Shākilih is examined with its before and after words in this diagram. A comprehensive and new concept can be achieved by analyzing the relationship between Shākilih and human behavior. The human Shākilih is the result of the essence of man and the properties that are his essence and the sum of his acquired assets that conduct his behavior.
