Abstract

Anthropology is one of the most important and fundamental pillars of research and study of a religion and denomination. The particular type of view and ideology, which a religion or school of thought gives to human nature, is effective in shaping the structure of that religion and recognizing it as a whole. In this article, we try to examine the views of the two religions of Islam and Hinduism on human nature based on their sacred texts, namely the Holy Quran and the ancient Upanishads. The Holy Qur'an considers the nature of man to be pure and undefiled, inclined to the truth and opposed to the falsehood, and the ancient Upanishads also consider the nature of man to be from Prajapati, stating that God and man have a direct relationship with each other, and that God created man from His own nature.
