Hope is a crucial factor in human life and is an integral part of it. Its lack makes people hopeless and depressed, and consequently their normal lives stop. Without it, people will not try to survive and meet the needs of their lives. Divine Religions emphasize the importance and role of this human psychological characteristic and consider the despair of the mercy of God as a great sin. This study has focused on the meaning and place of the hope in the holy books of Judaism and Islam .There are several verses in the Quran that they revive the hope in the hearts of the faithful through God’s mercy and compassion. There are also verses that denounce despair and give hope to the faithful. In the Psalms, hope is also strongly emphasized as a vital factor in human beings. In the Psalms, there are several situations that when the tribe got disappointed, the prophets began to give hope to the people so that the people could get back to their normal lives. Moreover, this emphasis on hope is quite clear throughout the psalms.

Based on the Qur'an, Man is the best creature of God. That is why Qur'an refers to him a lot, and some judgments have been made about man and his deeds. Given the importance of anthropological value and its impact on human behavior, in this article we have classified the Qur'anic judgments into two groups: condemnatory and complimentary features. Furthermore, these features have been briefly analyzed based on some contemporary and earlier interpretations of Sunnis and Shiites. It is important to know in what ways man in the Qur'an seems to be worthy of praise or condemnation, and to know what proportion exists between them based on the quantitative and qualitative assessment and which one is more fundamental. The main question in this case is what is the dual philosophy of the Qur'anic descriptions about man? This study is a library-based, descriptive, and hermeneutics with a theoretical approach which tries to seek the answers to the questions based on the Qur'an. It is suggested that all the instincts and attributes that the human nature are composed of, either positive and negative, pave the way for his excellence and perfection, and are necessary for the human growth. Moreover, if some human features are criticized in some verses of the Qur'an, It is because of the fact that man has misused or overused them or even the criticism is relative. That is to say man is attributed a condemnatory feature when he is compared with some creatures or divine greatness. Therefore, the reason of dual descriptions of man in the Qur'an becomes clear and the superficial contradiction between the verses of praising and blaming disappears.
