The Man in Quran
At the end we should know that if we advance toward becoming man by taking benefit of the Divine Guides and thinking more and more and strengthening our morals and follow the path of perfection and truth we shall be as the Holy Quran indicates in these verses:
1. And when your Lord said to the angels, I am going to place in the earth a khalif.
2. Certainly We created man in the best make.
3. He created man, taught him the mode of expression.
4. Taught man what he knew not
5. And surely We have honoured the children of Adam, and We carry them in the land and the sea, and We have given them of the good things, and We have made them to excel by an appropriate excellence over most of those whom We have created.
6. And finally it is this man about whom Allah has said: He it is who created for you all that is in the earth
7. And He has made subservient to you whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth
The above quoted verses say that the value of man is more than everything and his position is higher than all beings as Allah has said: We have created everything for you and because of you and made all them subservient to you.
It is here that we find that Allah has created man for a very great and precious purpose, everything has been created for man, created so that man may become the owner of all that is in the earth and then he may be an active authority.
He Man has been declared as the highest being on the vast field of earth. He is more valuable among all creations because everything has been created for him.
And finally it is this same man that God has given him strivings in the path of the Lord and whom He has given the promise of meeting Him: O man! surely you must strive to attain to your Lord, a hard striving until you meet Him.
And we should also know that is case he does not improve himself, get trained under the guidance of Divine teachers leaders and if he destroys morals and makes himself grow like wild grass then he becomes the subject matter of the following verses:
A. A weak being: Khuliqal
B. Very unjust, very ungrateful: Innal insaan
C. Niggardly: Wa Kaanal
D. Ever hasty: Wa kaanal insaana ajoolaa
E. Given to contention: Wa kaanal insaanu ak sa ra shai in ja da laa
F. Unjust, ignorant In nahu kaa na zalooman jahoolaa
G. Hasty in temperament, greatly grieved when evil afflicts him and niggardly when good befalls him: Innal insaan khuliqa halooaa, izaa mas sahus sharru jazooaa wa izaa mas sahul khaira manooaa
H. Beguiled even from the Lord: Yaa aiyuhal insaanu maa ghar ra ka bi rabbikal kareem?
I. Inordinate: Kallaa innal insaa na la yatghaa
J. Becomes like a dog: Fa ma sa luhu ka ma sa lahil kalb
K. And finally his business becomes like that of a donkey: Masalul laz zee na asfaaraa
L. Becomes worse than an animal: And certainly We have created for hell many of the jinn and the men; they have hearts with which they do not understand, and they have eyes with which they do not see, and they have ears with which they do not hear; they are as cattle, nay, they are in worse errors; these are the heedless ones.
And if we do not reform ourselves and die with these mean attributes, tomorrow on the Day of Judgement, these same attributes will take a physical form and we will be gathered as blind and ugly persons in the court of final justice: And whoever is blind in this, he shall also be blind in the hereafter; and more erring from the way.
At the end we hope that the Lord Almighty will, by His Grace, guide us to perfect manliness and will not disgrace us tomorrow on the Day of final Judgement.
