This thesis includes a series of chapters and reviews that show the theory of the Qur’an by searching the verses of the Qur’an. This research is aimed at understanding the Qur’an about the explanation of human nature، as well as showing the teachings in the New Testament regarding human nature and comparing these two texts، which are the cornerstones of Islamic and Christian views. Therefore، in the first chapter، we explained the generalities of the research and expressed the theory of the Holy Quran about man. We also dealt with the issue of human nature، which in this thesis means human states and individual characteristics that a person has when he is born. And in the second chapter of the thesis، we put the nature and characteristics of man from the perspective of the Qur’an. We explained that there is no doubt that God created a soul in the beginning and created his wife from it and from them humanity multiplied. Regarding the third chapter، the nature of man is mentioned from the point of view of the New Testament. Since the New Testament includes two types of theology، we must differentiate between the Gospels on the one hand and the Epistles of Paul and the Gospel of John on the other hand. And the fourth chapter includes a comparison of human nature in the Qur’an and the New Testament، a comprehensive look at human life in the Holy Qur’an، including three basic and main stages related to the relationship between human life and God Almighty in the Holy Qur’an. The method of this research is descriptive and analytical based on the verses of the Holy Quran.
