Man has two material and immaterial dimensions. The researchers and thinkers have adequate knowledge about the growth process human body from sperm to death. But as far as the process of growth and development of the soul is concerned, they have no knowledge about it. For soul has not received much attention from the Western psychology. The reason the Western psychology has not paid attention to it is the invisibility of the soul and the fact that they have reduced human being to its material dimension only. This issue has relatively received attention in philosophical and mystical sources and has created good results in the field of philosophical psychology. The Holy Quran, as a book on anthropology and training human, has a gradual and step-by-step look at the course of human development. The developmental movement of the soul begins from the uterus and passes through various levels; Some are evolutionary and natural, and some are selective and out of free will. As long as human life continues, this developmental movement continues as well. In this article, based on the verses and views of the commentators and following inferential-analytical method, the author studies the vertical development of the soul mentioned in the Holy Quran. The vegetative, corporeal, human and divine [levels] are the connecting levels that are depicted in various verses for human beings.
