According to the Qurʾān, God created two apparently parallel species of creatures, human beings and jinn, the one from clay and the other from fire. About the jinn, however, the Qurʾān says little, although it is implied that the jinn are endowed with reason and responsibility but are more prone to evil than human beings are. It is with humanity that the Qurʾān, which describes itself as a guide for the human race, is centrally concerned. The story of the Fall of Adam (the first man) promoted in Judaism and Christianity is accepted, but the Qurʾān states that God forgave Adam his act of disobedience, which is not viewed in the Qurʾān as original sin in the Christian sense of the term.
In the matter of the creation of the human race, the Devil, or Satan, who argued with God over human creation, because “they would sow seed in the earth,” lost the race for knowledge against Adam. The Qur’an therefore refers to humanity as the most noble of all creation, a created being that bears the trust (and responsibility) of every creature that refuses to accept it. The Qur’ān therefore emphasizes that all creation was made subject to human beings, who are regarded as God’s deputy on earth; nothing in all creation is created without purpose, and mankind itself is not created “for a game” but, rather, for the purpose of serving and obeying God's will.
Despite this elevated station, however, the Qurʾān describes human nature as fragile and fragile. Although everything in the universe is limited and all creatures are aware of their limitations and limitations, humans are considered to be free and therefore prone to rebellion and pride, with a tendency to flaunt themselves with self-indulgence. Pride is therefore considered a great sin of the people, because, in their disregard for their vital limitations of creatures, they become guilty of establishing a relationship with God (shirk: uniting the creature with the Creator) and breaking the law the unity of God True faith (īmān), thus, consists of belief in the immaculate Divine Unity and islām (surrender) in one’s submission to the Divine Will.
