Based on the mentioned verse and commentators' viewpoints, the paper seeks to analyze the meaning of human dignity and how this verse signifies superiority of human to angels. Human being has been, even physiologically, of such a position that one may not find in any other creature and, as is understood, it shows God`s particular attention to human, the advantage all human beings enjoy it innately. Analyzing the verses concerning this topic indicates that human being has two types of dignity; one is innate and the other acquisitive; the former being enjoyed by one`s creational development and special talents and the latter being achieved by human will and attempt. By the latter one may surpass angels. %> http://tafsir.maaref.ac.ir/article-1-1422-en.pdf %P 111-126 %& 111 %! %9 Research %L A-10-1-139 %+ Al-Mustafa International University %G eng %@ 2228-7256 %[ 2014
