Human in the Qur'an in terms of universal and historical dimensions

The aim of the thesis is to examine the verses in the Qur'an in terms of universal and historical context and whether the concept of human appeals to a certain person living in the period of Ignorance or to all people. Various theses related to the subject of 'human in the Qur'an' have been written and it has been identified as a deficiency in the literature that the concept of the human isn't addressed in a universal-historical manner. Through this thesis, it is aimed to complete the gap in the literature. The content of the thesis is to determine the object within the framework of the comments made by the commentators to the concept of the human and the rumors which they give proof. In the study, it is especially anticipated to base on the rivayah and dirayah interpretations and. Since taking all the verses mentioned in the Qur'an and calling expressions such as 'eyyuhannas' in particular will expand the content of the study, the focus of the thesis is on the concept of the human with the prefix of 'el', pointing singularity and specificity. It is reached that in every verse where the world "al-insan" is mentioned, it doesn't include all people. It sometimes adresses to a specific person and sometimes to a certain group.
