This article explores the philosophical and mystical interpretations of the concept of the “Perfect Human” (al-Insān al-Kāmil) in the works of Fakhr al-Din al-Razi, a prominent Islamic scholar and theologian of the 12th century. Using historical-analytical, textual, comparative, and philosophical methods, the study investigates how al-Razi integrates rational theology, practical wisdom, and spiritual ethics in his approach to human perfection. Although he did not author a dedicated treatise on the “Perfect Human”, al-Razi frequently addressed related themes such as intellectual maturity, ethical excellence, and spiritual purification in works like Tafsir al-Kabir, Asrar al-Tanzil, and Mabahith al-Mashriqiyyah. The paper compares al-Razi’s views with those of other key thinkers such as Ibn Sina, al-Ghazali, and Ibn Arabi to reveal his unique synthesis of rationalism and spirituality. Ultimately, al-Razi emphasizes the role of practical intellect as a central tool in the journey toward human happiness (saʿāda) and moral-spiritual excellence.

G. Abdurashitova, O.S. Umarov — Tue, 19 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This scientific article presents a comprehensive analysis of the impact of conflicts such as the Russia–Ukraine war, the conflict between Israel and the Gaza Strip, the civil war in Sudan, and the Yemeni crisis on energy prices, food supply chains, inflation, financial markets, as well as international trade and logistics systems. The rise in energy and food prices triggered by these conflicts has exacerbated macroeconomic instability in many countries, pushing global inflation to an annual rate of 8–9%. International sanctions and trade restrictions have led to a slowdown in global trade, decreased investor confidence, and disruptions in production and logistics chains. As a result, developing countries are suffering the most from the food and energy crises, and the demand for international humanitarian aid has reached record levels. The results of this study indicate that to ensure global economic stability amid ongoing wars, countries need to strengthen cooperation, diversify supply sources, and coordinate macroeconomic policies.
