Dignity is one of the fundamental concepts in human life, but there are disagreements in its meaning. This article intends to clarify some issues by looking at the Qur’an. The first question concerns the source of dignity, and the second, its meaning. For this purpose, after reflecting on Ayatollah Javadi's point of view, this article puts forward an argument for his view. The result of this article is that human dignity in all its aspects is directly related to God, and religion as a whole is the only source of dignity. The achievement of this article is, by expressing the unique definition of human life in the Quran, a compelling argument for the aforementioned theory. In addition, defining two distinct types of dignity, this article clarifies how to apply the theory to these two types. This research follows an interpretative method called thematic interpretation, Although, an analytic approach is considered.
