Abstract | ||
The concept of God has a significant place in the anthropology of Abrahamic religions. One approach to achieving greater unity among the teachings of the Quran and the Bible may be to focus on the character of Seth and his relationship with his father Adam, and his enjoyment of all divine privileges. While the Quran does not mention Seth, Islamic hadith sources can associate him with the generous Jewish-Christian figure. This research uses a comparative approach between the theology of Abrahamic religions and employs a componential conceptual analysis method. The results show that Seth's enjoyment of divine rule and Adam's knowledge in the Bible are expressed in combination with the image of God, while in the Quran, they are expressed analytically, with rule meaning caliphate and knowledge meaning Asmā’(names). | ||
