The System of Human Needs in the Light of the Prayerful Interpretation of the Verse "Antam al-Faqarah" Using the Prayers of Sahifa Sajjadiyeh

Abstract

Among the attributes that the Holy Qur'an describes human beings with is the attribute "poverty", which is mentioned in verse 15 of Surah Fatir with the phrase "Antam al-Faqara". In order to know the poor man, one must know the examples of poverty, so that by knowing the examples of the highest needs of the human being, it is also possible to find the solutions to meet the needs. Referring to the following interpretations of this verse, they only provide generalities about the types of poverty and do not clarify the exact examples and dimensions of need, but the main question is what are the examples of this poverty and need? Prayers, including the fruitful prayers of Sajjadiyyah, express more precise examples of poverty, and in the light of the prayer interpretation of the verse, the system of human needs is known, a system that can be categorized into needs at a glance, including: basic needs such as sustenance, energy, motivation: such as forgiveness, hope, humanity, and performance such as insight, obedience, trust, remembrance, and other needs, including: mercy, forgiveness, and love. This research aims to analyze the thematic content and by collecting the materials in a library form, to deal with the prayerful interpretation of this verse and draw a type of system of needs, using the prayers of the scriptures, and clarify the capacity of this type of interpretation to the best of its ability.
