What is meant
Here, Shahrur presents ṣunʿ (“making”) as denoting the product of work, and states that industry requires knowledge and experience. This is all that the available text establishes.
What is attributed to Shahrur
Under the heading “The Meaning of the Verb ‘Make,’” Shahrur writes that the verb is used “to denote the product of work.” He then states: “Industry requires knowledge and experience.” In this context, he cites Qur’anic examples, including the making of the Ark and the making of coats of mail for David.
For reading in the source: The Book and the Qur’an.
Atlas explanation
The atlas explains the statement as a connection between industry and the knowledge and experience it requires. It should be read alongside Knowledge Increases Human Capacity, and with the page General Work and Specific Act.
Qualified conclusion
Within the limits of this evidence, it may be said that, for Shahrur, “industry” is connected to knowledge and experience, and that ṣunʿ is presented as related to the product of work. This does not entail that every work is an industry, nor that the text here settles the full terminological distinction between making, work, and act.
For the broader context: Existence, Knowledge, and History.
Open question
Does Shahrur elsewhere offer a broader definition of making, or an explicit and consistent distinction between making, work, and act? This requires further evidence and is not settled by the text available in this atom.
