'Intrinsic' vs. 'Extrinsic' Growth and Development

Extrinsic growth and development is that how much physical or financial assets have you gathered. Intrinsic development is that to what extent you have actualized your innate potentialities.

Difference between 'Growth' & 'Development'

In my opinion, 'growth' refers to quantitative improvement in something while 'development' refers to qualitative improvement in something.

"Liberty" and the Quran

  • Liberty is a concept of political philosophy and identifies the condition in which an individual has the right to act according to his or her own will. [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty]
The Quran says: "The truth has come from your Lord, whosoever chooses may accept it and whosoever chooses may reject it" [The Quran, Chapter 18, verse 29].
It further says: "There is absolutely no compulsion in Ad-deen (i.e. in choosing one's way of life)" [ The Quran, Chapter 2, verse 256].
