“And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field...

“And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: And whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name there of” ( the Bible, Genesis 2: 19). “And Adam gave names to all cattle and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found a help meet for him” (Genesis 2: 20). The human being’s potential knowledge of God is indicated in Rom.

1: 19 were it is said that what can be known about God is evident to human in general, although the ungodly deny God’s existence (Renn, 2005). Knowledge and cognition can be the factors of man’s elevation: “ God will raise up in rank those of you who believed and have been given knowledge ” (58:11), or the Qur’an asks: “ are equal those who know and those know not ” (39:9). And this means that those who know are better than those who do not know.

The Qur’an believes that although all humans beings are equal, but there are four factors that cause a man to be higher than the others: knowledge (58:11), piety (49:13), faith (58:11) and jihad (holy war) for God’s sake (4 95). It should be noted that if man has really the necessary knowledge, he will surely have the other three factors of elevation, i.e.

piety, faith and striving for God’s sake, and definitely such properties when mixed and blended with knowledge can save the individual and the society. The Bible considers wisdom and knowledge higher than strength: “a wise man is mightier than a strong man and man of knowledge than he who has strength” (Prov. 24: 25).

witness bearing of the knowledgeable has been along with the witness bearing of God, and His angels: “ God bears witness that there is no God but He – and the angels, and men possessed of knowledge – upholding justice ”(2:18). It is the knowledgeable and scientist that fear God: “ even so only those of His servants fear God who have knowledge ” (35:23).

It can be deducted from this Qur’anic verse that if person does not fear God as it deserves, then we can doubt I his ranks of knowledge and science. It may be that such a person possess a superficial science, but undoubtedly has not acquired a real and essential knowledge, which can affect his attitude and behavior. It is not inopportune that the Qur’an says in another verse “ he who fears shall remember ” (7:10).
