Abstract :

One of the problems of humans throughout the ages is choosing the right path from the wrong one. The more correct the choices are and the more knowledge they have, the more people can follow the path of happiness. Man can walk the path of his happiness correctly. One of the main tools to recognize the right path is to have insight into that path or topic. The role of insight throughout history and in influential events is undeniable. There have been many rulers who have changed the fate of a nation due to lack of insight. But in the modern era, human problems have become more complicated, the role of insight should be more colorful; therefore, this article will analyze the role of insight in contemporary human life with a descriptive and analytical method and by referring to Quranic verses and specific interpretations including Tafsīr Tasnīm. In this regard, firstly, the definition of insight has been defined, then the necessity and benefit of insight has been presented according to the verses and views of the commentators, then the ways of gaining insight have been discussed. Finally, insight is a gift from Allah the Almighty and is of the nature of perception, which is not an acquired knowledge, and it should be achieved by thinking about Allah's verses; and if the common people achieve it to some extent, many problems of human society will be solved.
