The discussion of human dignity in the Holy Quran is one of the complex, fundamental and key issues in Quranic studies that can answer many questions in the field of human sciences and clarify the ambiguities in this field. Expressing the concept of human dignity in the semantic structure of the Qur'an can provide an attractive and humane image of man's position in human society and remove many distortions and slanders that enemies have attributed to Islam and the Qur'an regarding human dignity with the light of Quranic teachings. By analyzing the verses of the Qur'an and examining the views of two prominent contemporary commentators, Tayyab and Seyyed Qutb, regarding the principles of human dignity, we arrive at eight fundamental principles, which are: 1- The principle of thinking and reasoning, 2- The principle of gradualness and continuity, 3- The principle of equality 4- The principle of freedom of choice, 5- The principle of balance and proportion, 6- The principle of purposefulness, 7- The principle of naturalism, and 8- The principle of activity and dynamism.

Seyyed Qutb, as a prominent Egyptian intellectual, considers the Qur'an as a book for "movement" and emphasizes the existence of valuable thoughts in it. On the other hand, Tayyeb has a social approach and pays special attention to the views of the Ahl al-Bayt (a.s.) in interpreting the verses of the Qur'an and uses traditions to a greater extent than Sayyid Qutb.
