Examining the anthropocentric perspective in the verses of the Holy Quran using the method of content analysis

This study examines the anthropocentric perspective in the verses of the Quran and analyzes the meanings and themes hidden in the verses related to humanity. The aim of this study is to understand the Quranic perspective on anthropocentrism and God-centeredness. This study was conducted using a qualitative approach and using thematic analysis and structural network diagram. The findings include organized themes: man as the successor of God, human dominance and superiority, human dignity, alignment of God's will with human benefit and happiness, which ultimately leads to the general theme of the anthropocentric perspective in the verses of the Quran. Considering that man is the successor of God and the heir of all divine attributes and that God has granted man dominance and superiority over the world and has enhanced the dignity of man through his unique creation and breathing His soul into him; it can be concluded that in the Quranic perspective, there is no separation between God and man. Rather, man has a divine reality. Furthermore, God's commands and wills are designed to bring benefit and happiness to mankind and therefore do not conflict with the anthropocentric approach that pursues the same goal. Any conflict is man's misunderstanding of his own benefit and happiness and his deviation from reason.
