| 總結: | God created human beings with the ability to think, research, and take on certain responsibilities towards other creations. Mankind’s laborious efforts produced positive developments such as scientific and technological progress, which have continuously improved the quality of human subsistence in this world since the time of Adam. However, negative developments have gone hand-in-hand with positive developments, including wars, armament, ignorance, ethnic problems, discrimination, vandalism, violence and terrorism, etc. Many intellectuals and researchers from different national and cultural backgrounds have been working hard to find solutions within the modern paradigm but none yet found any answer that promisies a safe future for humankind. Nevertheless, most religious teachings give tidings and hope that there are a few fundamental notions that will aid humankind to achieve a peaceful coexistence, and these include tolerance, mutual respect, love, and faith. This paper will attempt to explore—through contents analysis method—the respect and value attributed to humankind by Abrahamic religions, with particular focus on Islam. |
