A Commentary on the verse Keramat and Resolving its Appear Conflict by Human's Reprobate Characters

In the verse of Keramat, the Holy Quran mentions that all human beings have a description of specific keramt (dignity). In a superficial look, this verse is in conflict with other verses of the Quran such as: Ibrahim/ 34, Al-Ma’arij/ 19-21, Al-Alaq/ 6-7, Al-Ahzab/ 72, Al-Qiyamah/ 5, Al-Asr/1-2, and Al-A`araf/ 179. Various viewpoints have been proposed by commentators to resolve this conflict. Faith, human education, pureness of nature, correct application of the instincts, lack of contentment in regard to creation, distinguishing the initial Keramat from final rascality and also actualizing the positive aspects of human life are taken into account as criteria of Keramat within these viewpoints. This paper emphasizes that human dignity refers to the type of his creation which has been bestowed to him with special capacities, talents, and abilities. Accordingly, human dignity is based on these unique features of human creation among divine creatures and reprobating human in some of the verses is because of inappropriate usage of these blessings.
