Abstract

The sense of curiosity is innate in human personality that persuades one to get acquaintance with the undiscovered facts of life. He/she utilizes all availablemeans in inquiring the reality of things. The sole factor, whichequips him/herwith superiority over the rest of creations, is the element of knowledge. Subsistence of human identity without knowledge (‘Ilm) is unworthy. The crown of supremacy has been conferred to man only by dint of knowledge. The landmark dialogue between Allah Almighty and Angels in the Holy Qur’āntestifies the transcendence of man over the rest of creations by shedding light on the importance of knowledge.
