Abstract
Humans have a special position in Islam as explained in the Qur'an. As creatures of God, humans are given reason, soul, and freedom to live their lives, so they have moral and spiritual responsibilities. The Qur'an uses various terms to describe humans, such as basyar, insan, bani Adam, and abd, which respectively indicate the biological, psychological, and theological aspects of humans. In addition, humans in Islam also have two main roles, namely as caliphs (khalifatullah fil ard) who are tasked with managing the earth with justice, and as servants of God (abdullah) who are obliged to submit and obey His commands. This study uses a library research method, by tracing and analyzing various literary sources, both from interpretations of the Qur'an, books, and scientific journals that discuss the concept of humans in Islam. The results of this study show that humans in the Qur'an are not merely biological creatures, but also entities that have moral, intellectual, and spiritual responsibilities. By understanding the concept of human in the Qur'an, deeper insight can be gained regarding the nature of human existence as well as their roles and responsibilities in this world and the afterlife.
