Abstract

There are various ideas and definitions on "globalization" and any of the scholars have looked at this issue from a specific perspective, have had either a positive or a negative attitude. The analysis of these ideas and definitions has indicated that there exists a gap as to the perspective of Qur'an on this concept; whether Qur'an has made any references to it or as it is claimed by the westerners it has emerged as a result of their novel innovation. Therefore, the researcher intended to resolve this question with reference co Qur'an and other interpretative resources in a descriptive and analytical mariner. Results have revealed that Qur'an expressed the idea of globalization over fourteen centuries ago and provided a definition too different from the westerners and has explicitly referred to this concept in various verses. These verses can be presented in three forms as objectives, readers, and general concepts.
