Individual and Community Dichoatomy In The Qur'anic Context

The Reform Movement in the West and the Enlightenment Period brought about social change and caused many sciences to develop. One of the main subjects of the sociology knowledge that emerged under the influence of these scientific and social changes is the individual and society. ‘Can a society of individuals be considered separately from individuals? Is it possible to treat society as an individual force?’ have been tried to find answers. Some think that the individual thinks that the influence and function on society is more important, while others think that the influence and function of the society on the individual is more valuable. These approaches have created two poles in sociology. In sociology, these two poles are called macro and micro theories. Macro theories have assumed the function of society and society as the basis while micro-theories evaluate the society by taking individual and individual behavior. In the Islamic world, it is also important that these two basic concepts relate to each other and how the Qur'an deals with the dichotomy of the individual and society. The problem of our work in this context is to study the; Kur’anic responsibility in terms of individual and social dichotomy. Based on the Qur’anic verses, our specific aim; is to evaluate the fact that whether Kur'an is preferring individual over the society or vice versa. In doing so, the macro and micro theories discussed in the sociological literature will be analyzed. We will also try to make the subject clearer with the historical documentation technique
