Abstract

In the Holy Quran, a strong emphasis has been placed on the dignity of human beings. There are two verses in the Quran that discuss the differences between humans and other creatures. In this article, we have tried to interpret these two verses using free selection of virtues and goodness as the criterion for human dignity that was obtained in our previous research. In the verse of trust, unlike other creatures, man accepts a trust that informs us about his cruelty and ignorance. However, if we consider this trust as freedom of choice, it can also imply injustice and ignorance alongside justice and wisdom for humans. In the verse of succession, angels tell God that human as vicegerent on earth leads to corruption and bloodshed. God does not deny this, but reminds the angels of the existence of pure ones. If we consider freely choosing goodness the differentiating factor between humans and other creatures the angels accurately refer to the possibility of creating corruption and bloodshed. However, they did not see the value of voluntary goodness compared to their own compulsory goodness. Therefore, by considering freely choosing goodness as the criterion for human dignity, these two verses can be easily interpreted.

古兰经》中的人类尊严标准。
古兰经》非常强调人的尊严。古兰经》中有两节经文论述了人类与其他生物的区别。在本文中,我们试图用自由选择的美德和善作为人类尊严的标准来解释这两节经文。在关于 "信任 "的经文中,与其他生物不同,人类接受了一种信任,这种信任告诉我们他的残忍和无知。然而,如果我们将这种信任视为选择的自由,那么它也可能意味着人类的不公正和无知,以及正义和智慧。在继承经文中,天使告诉上帝,人类作为地球上的代治者会导致腐败和流血。上帝并没有否认这一点,而是提醒天使们纯洁的人的存在。如果我们认为自由选择善是人类与其他生物的区别,那么天使们就准确地指出了产生腐败和流血的可能性。然而,与他们自己的强制善良相比,他们并没有看到自愿善良的价值。因此,如果把自由选择善作为人类尊严的标准,这两节经文就很容易解释了。
