Abstract
This article discusses an important message of the Qur'an concerning the process of formation and transformation of human settlements. The significance of this study stems from the fact that it evaluates the spatial structure and character of the inhabitants in a city, suburbs, or hamlets from the standpoint of the Qur'an. The theme of urban sociology was discussed according to the thematic interpretation method (maudū’ī) based on Ibn ‘Āshūr understanding in His Book Al-Taḥrīr wa Tanwīr. The findings showed that the inhabitant plays a significant role in shaping the morphology of the city. City dwellers differ from village residents in terms of faith, social care, and even the formation of the city shape. The paper ends with a plea for greater attention to the Qur'anic Commentary and examining contemporary urban issues.
