The article is based on the viewpoint that Allah has not only subdued the earth and all that is in it to man, but also, entrusted to him the responsibility of the safety and sustenance of the earth and the atmosphere. Alongside, He has enjoined upon man to supplicate and carry out His worship with humbleness. The research also presents conceptions of philosophers, intellectuals and scholars about the supremacy of man in the universe. The article brings into account multiple definitions and explanations of man given by scholars from various disciplines. A few essential values which are incorporated in the Qur‘ān are discussed in this article such as man being a vicegerent of Allah on this earth and a creature worthy of high respect, his duties and responsibilities, the rights of man and the sources of his happiness and celebrations in the world and likewise.
