The Islamicity Index—developed by the Islamicity Foundation and led by scholars like Professor Hossein Askari—is designed to measure how closely a country’s institutions, governance, economic framework, and social systems align with the core societal teachings of the Qur'an and the Prophet Muhammad, rather than measuring personal religious rituals.
The Quran distinguishes Bashar, the biological hominid, from Insān, the conscious human. Adam represents the evolutionary milestone when God breathed the Rūḥ (spirit) into the physical vessel. This leap granted humanity abstract thought and moral accountability.
Creation involves Takhlīq, the measured proportioning of genetic material, and Tadrīj, gradual development across eons. Scripture describes creation in stages (atwārā), matching scientific timelines.
