  Religion qua religion has many wide-ranging and vast aspects. The question to be answered is whether we can summarize all those aspects in one and all-inclusive facet. Dealing with the theory of benevolence, this article says yes to this question. The theory suggests that from one side benevolence is the manifestation of the all-embracing name of al-Rahman, and from another side as the pure religion includes all aspects of religion. The holy name of Allah is the most embracing name of Him; then after this name, comes the fair name of al-Rahman as the most embracing name. al-Rahman is manifested in benevolence. Since religion has been revealed according to the embracing name of al-Rahman, one can say that benevolence is the core essence of religion. This theory has different principles. In what follows, the author has tried to study various aspects of that theory examining its principle and reasons in the light of the Qur’an and mysticism. The conclusion is that benevolence, self-sacrifice and in general mercy are the core essence and all-embracing aspect of religion. The methods followed here are reference-to-library for data collection and analytic-descriptive for judgment Manuscript profile

  The purpose of this study was to analyze the concept of intellectual life in Plotinus' grace-oriented approach in order to infer the methods of intellectual education in response to the challenge of marketization of knowledge in education today. The present study is a qualitative research using conceptual analysis and practical analogy of Frankna. Inference of methods in the form of practical deductions consists of a normative premise indicating intermediate goals or principles of education, a factual premise that expresses the techniques and methods of achieving education goals, and a conclusion being a normative recommendation of a method to achieve educational goals. The results of this study showed that the methods of rational training based on existential change included benevolence, activism, and methods based on epistemological transformation including rational and intuitive reflections and the method of insight and introspection and methods based on moderation and practical wisdom included the practice of wisdom and self-purification. Therefore, knowledge with the focus on true rationality and by applying the methods extracted in Plotinus' thought has the capacity to resist the phenomenon of commercialization of knowledge in education today. These methods can be used as a tool against the manifestations of instrumental rationality such as wealth-centered thinking, cultural industry, superficiality and power-centeredness.
