According to encyclopedias human beings are defined as organisms having
human attributes which are the representatives of the sympathies of human
nature. This definition is not wrong, but it is not the only definition of
human being. According to my understanding, human beings are not differentiated
clearly by this definition. A human being has a structure normally consists of
one nose, two legs, two arms, two ears, two eyes, and so forth. We know from
the studies that human beings somehow have identical genetic coding as great
apes, which clearly raises a point that our human form is not the reason and
definition of human being. The definitions in the encyclopedias also mention
that human beings have ability to express emotions, love, hate care and etc.
obviously, we know that animals have the same ability of showing love toward
their children and other animals just as we human have. Therefore, it shows
that having the ability of showing emotions such as love, hate, anger and etc
does not define us entirely as human being.
Having all these reasons in our hand, we know the definitions and meaning
of human being, but still our definitions does not entirely differ us from
other beings on the earth. Scientifically, human beings are different from
other beings on the earth by their genetic codes. What makes a human being
unique from other beings is their ability to think rationally, make
relationships and connections. Human beings have unique superiority over other
beings on the earth. We are not only able to think rationally, which other
beings can not, but we are able and have the power of using that knowledge and
implementing those thoughts to reach the highest level of accomplishment and
success. One day Allah (Subhanawo.Wa.Ta'aala) told his angels that I would like
to create a human being (Khalif) on earth. He created Hazrat Adam
(Alaih-e-Salaam) and thought him the names of the materials in the heaven. Adam
was the one who participated in competition against the angels of heaven and
used his rational thinking ability that Allah (S.W.T) had provided him with; he
learnt and told the names of things which angels did not know.
