Man's position in the world
Man was created to be the Master of the Universe, & to whose use all things have been subjected, as if all things in this cosmos were "woven" for him & cutout to suit his size.
Why was Man given this supreme position, although the universe contains many things that are bigger & larger than him?
MAN was created ready to be deputy on Earth by the secret of the light which is derived from Allah's light, and the breath which is from Allah's spirit, it is that breath that made him ready for this supreme position on Earth, & for undertaking the greater trust of responsibility which the Quran describes in a literary excellent way, saying:
"We did indeed offer the trust to the heavens & the Earth & the mountains; but they refused to undertake it being afraid thereof, but man undertook it…." ------- Al-Ahzab 72
It's by virtue of this readiness that man is given choice concerning his destiny, because Allah facilitated for him all means of guidance and removed all excuses:
"Let him who will believe & let him who will reject it"---- Al-kahf 29
"Truly he succeeds that purifies it( his soul) , and he fails that corrupts it"…… Ash-shams 10
Islam has elevated man and considers everything belongs to him: his mind &heart, His will & conscience, his instincts & desires.
Islam has never imposed any difficulties on Man, everything imposed by Islam is suitable for Man's abilities, nor has it ever closed a gate of goodness before him, nor has it ever left him alone to be cheated by those who trade with the religion, rather it addresses him directly:
"O man! Hat has seduced Thee from Thy lord Most beneficent? Him who created Thee, and fashioned Thee in due proportion, and gave Thee a just bias; in whatever form He wills, does He put Thee together"
