Abstract

Knowing human nature is one of the vital subjects of the Holy Quran, tradition, mysticism, and Islamic philosophy. By this knowledge, entity and essence of human will be distinguished from other animals. The writer of this assay has tried to explain the nature and quality of human destiny from Allameh tabatabai’s point of view. Allameh in his various books- especially in Commentary of Almizan holds very profound ideas about the nature and destiny of human being.  In short, from his point of view, knowing human nature get us to know human destiny because human is both an infinite creature and religious existent. It is clear that this kind of entity has a free will to choose his destiny. In other words,   freewill and religion orientation of human are necessary for his creation and nature, and his perfection lies in observing religion.
