Abstract

By now, the approaches of the religious science have created religious science or improved contemporary sciences through two ways: the development or improvement of the methods and scientific techniques and developing contents and science data. The condition to produce science is firstly to create and set theories through religious components; secondly these theories have harmony in paradigm parameters and form in the light of religious world view. The components of the social theory are the bases of the society study (the reality of the society) which should be seen what they are according to the Quran. Therefore this question can be pointed out what is or are the bases of society study. What theories are resulted from these basic concepts of society studying in the Quran? This research attempts to present and define the presumption of the basis or components which comprise a society theory from the Quran verses to understand and determine the reality of the society. Therefore, the most important base to study the society among five basis of knowing the society (people, necessity, communication, disagreement, hope) in the Quran is the communication concept as a main pillar of knowing the society. The method in this research is the base ology which is the combination of thematic Quran interpretation and continent analyses (conceptualizing, concept categorizing and determining the main concept) and detection and explanation of the logical relation between the main concepts.
