Abstract

This research employs a descriptive and analytical approach, focusing on Qur’anic verses that discuss failure. By delving into the Qur’an, we aim to understand the philosophy of failure
outlined in its verses, shedding light on its origin and Qur’anic reasons. Through this study, it becomes evident that the root cause of failure in the Qur’an is linked to non-compliance with divine and prophetic leadership, resulting in discord and disagreement, whether individually or collectively. Furthermore, failure is intricately tied to worldly attachments, indulgence in desires, and submission to them. The study reveals that the cause of failure lies within the individual, manifested through conflict, disobedience, impatience, and the understanding that success is not intrinsic but rather a divine grant contingent upon fulfilling its conditions.
The Qur’anic perspective categorizes failures into four types, encompassing the wrongdoer, disbeliever, criminal, and sorcerer, under which all varieties of failures fall.
