Abstract

This study reports on an experiment in which a group of 42 management students was asked to reflect on surah al-Anfal while another group of 115 students was asked to reflect on surah at-Taubah. To provide a framework, the author gave each group a table in which the surahs were related to the concepts of belief in Allah (tawhid). The qualitative feedback from students shows without doubt that the concepts of tawhid in theory and tawhid in practice helps the students develop a broader picture of these surahs. In particular, they found that the concept of tawhid in practice was something quite new for them. The study presents some of this feedback and discusses the implications.
