Abstract :
Human is the most superior creature of God and summary of creation pivot. Holy Quran says that human value is result of his own endeavor. “and that man doesn’t have anything except what he tries for it”. From Nahj- al-balagha perspective, human is a social creature and has many capabilities for ascendancy and ascension to human’s highest positions. From view point of Molaye Motaghian Imam Ali (Alayhiṣ ṣalāt wa as salām), belief and face is the most important element of human’s existence, Hazrat knows value and dignity of any human as equal as his ambition and endeavor and knows human’s self as an essence whose nature is his personality. From Imam Ali’s look, human is a social creature with many capabilities for ascendancy and ascension to human’s highest positions.
