Abstract

Understanding the human being as a whole is not possible as many aspects remain unknown. The Qur’an mentions humans as the caliph on earth. As the caliph, Allah has equipped humans with hearing, sights, conscience, and the ability to subdue nature under their reign. The Qur’an also mentions that humans have roles as individual, social, and learning being who bring their original disposition since birth. The appointing of humans as the caliph on earth was full of meaning. Humans have qualities compared to other beings on earth. The conscience enables humans to create a living place for all beings on earth to live comfortably. These qualities cause humans to employ their consciousness. Those who do not possess thinking ability will not achieve the opportunity in becoming the caliph on earth. Therefore, there is a need for education in life as a necessity. Education leads people to become fully human
