| Abstract | ||
| Considering the scope and importance of non-verbal communication in human relationships, the Holy Qur'an has also directed and regulated this type of communication based on divine thought and purpose in many of its verses. Following the verses of the Qur'an, the topic of non-verbal communication can be pursued in four areas: voice tone, facial expression, eye contact, and body language. The tone of voice has the dual function of identifying people's inner goals and maintaining people's social health. The facial expression also indicates concepts such as humility, anger, hypocrisy, chastity, and remorse. The way of looking and eye contact includes effective concepts in human communication such as anger and opposition and sometimes also expresses anxiety and fear. The movements of other body parts (body language) each symbolically indicate certain meanings, attitudes, and moods, and the Holy Qur'an confirms some of these concepts and rejects others. The most important point in the concepts resulting from non-verbal communication is that these concepts are based on the axis of divine teachings. In other words, the concepts emitted by the eyes, tone, facial expression, and body language should be based on monotheism, lordship, and God. In the Holy Qur'an, while inviting the transmission of some concepts in the form of non-verbal behaviors, God forbids some other concepts, and it is not the case that anyone is allowed to convey any concepts with non-verbal language, but rather, one should consider the audience and pay attention to his attitude. A behavior appropriate to him should be emitted. The result of such a thing will be the emergence of multiple relationships with different concepts and orientations in the community of believers | ||
