What Does the Quran Say About Humans?

Humans are mentioned in the Quran in these verses:

 

[6:128] The day will come when He summons all of them (and says): “O you jinns, you have claimed multitudes of humans.” Their human companions will say, “Our Lord, we enjoyed each others’ company until we wasted the life span You had set for us.” He will say, “Hell is your destiny.” They abide therein forever, in accordance with God’s will. Your Lord is Wise, Omniscient.

[6:129] We thus match the wicked to be companions of each other, as a punishment for their transgressions.

[6:130] O you jinns and humans, did you not receive messengers from among you, who narrated to you My revelations, and warned you about the meeting of this day? They will say, “We bear witness against ourselves.” They were totally preoccupied with the worldly life, and they will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers.

[7:38] He will say, “Enter with the previous communities of jinns and humans into Hell.” Every time a group enters, they will curse their ancestral group. Once they are all in it, the latest one will say of the previous one, “Our Lord, these are the ones who misled us. Give them double the retribution of Hell.” He will say, “Each receives double, but you do not know.”

[7:179] We have committed to Hell multitudes of jinns and humans. They have minds with which they do not understand, eyes with which they do not see, and ears with which they do not hear. They are like animals; no, they are far worse – they are totally unaware.

[11:119] Only those blessed with mercy from your Lord (will not dispute the truth). This is why He created them. The judgment of your Lord has already been issued: “I will fill Hell with jinns and humans, all together.”

[14:10] Their messengers said, “Do you have doubts about God; the Initiator of the heavens and the earth? He invites you only to forgive your sins, and to give you another chance to redeem yourselves.” They said, “You are no more than humans like us, who want to repel us from the way our parents used to worship. Show us some profound authority.”

[14:11] Their messengers said to them, “We are no more than humans like you, but God blesses whomever He chooses from among His servants. We could not possibly show you any kind of authorization, except in accordance with God’s will. In God the believers shall trust.

[17:88] Say, “If all the humans and all the jinns banded together in order to produce a Quran like this, they could never produce anything like it, no matter how much assistance they lent one another.”

[25:49] With it, we revive dead lands and provide drink for our creations – multitudes of animals and humans.

[27:17] Mobilized in the service of Solomon were his obedient soldiers of jinns and humans, as well as the birds; all at his disposal.

[30:20] Among His proofs is that He created you from dust, then you became reproducing humans.

[32:13] Had we willed, we could have given every soul its guidance, but it is already predetermined that I will fill Hell with jinns and humans, all together.

[41:25] We assign to them companions who adorn everything they do in their eyes. Thus, they end up incurring the same fate as the previous communities of jinns and humans, who were also losers.

[41:29] Those who disbelieved will say, “Our Lord, show us those among the two kinds – jinns and humans – who misled us, so we can trample them under our feet, and render them the lowliest.”

[46:18] Such are the ones stamped as disbelievers among every generation of jinns and humans; they are losers.

[51:56] I did not create the jinns and the humans except to worship Me alone.

[55:13] (O humans and jinns,) which of your Lord’s marvels can you deny?

[55:14] He created the human from aged clay, like the potter’s clay.

[55:15] And created the jinns from blazing fire.

[55:16] (O humans and jinns,) which of your Lord’s marvels can you deny?

[55:31] We will call you to account, O humans and jinns.

[55:32] Which of your Lord’s marvels can you deny?

[55:33] O you jinns and humans, if you can penetrate the outer limits of the heavens and the earth, go ahead and penetrate. You cannot penetrate without authorization.

[55:46] For those who reverence the majesty of their Lord, two gardens (one for the jinns and one for the humans).[55:62] Below them are two gardens (one for the jinns and one for the humans).

[64:6] This is because their messengers went to them with clear proofs, but they said, “Shall we follow humans like us?” They disbelieved and turned away. God does not need them; God is in no need, Praiseworthy.

[72:5] ” `We thought that neither the humans, nor the jinns, could possibly utter lies about God.

[84:6] O humans, you are irreversibly heading for a meeting with your Lord.
