{(Allah) said: "O Iblis! What prevents thee from prostrating thyself to one whom I have created with my hands? Art thou haughty? Or art thou one of the high (and mighty) ones?} (Qura'n, Surah Sad, Ayah: 75)
*whom I have created with my hands*
{When I have completed shaping him and have breathed into him of My Spirit,19 then fall you down before him in prostration} (Qura'n, Surah Alhijr, Ayah 29).
“And have breathed into him of My Spirit” means when I have cast a reflection of My divine characteristics on him. This shows that the soul of man implies life, knowledge, power, will, discretion and other human characteristics in the aggregate. These are in reality a slight reflection of divine characteristics that has been cast on the human body, which was originally created from dried clay. And it is this divine reflection on the human body which has raised him to the position of the vicegerent of Allah and made him that worthy being before whom angels and every earthly thing should bow down."
