Religion will exalt man
Religion is supposed to exalt human by guiding him towards the eternal life. The following verses of Koran confirm the exaltation aspect of the Koran
1- They want you to feel flattered because they have entered Islam. Say: “you do not flatter me with your commitment to [live in] peace, rather God flatters you, provided you are loyal, since He has guided you to faith. (49:17)
2- Is someone who has been dead and whom we revived and granted light to so he may walk among people with it to be compared to someone who is in such darkness he cannot leave it?(6:122)
3-they have hearts they do not understand with, and eyes they do not see with and ears they do not hear with. Those persons are like livestock, in fact they are even further off the track, and they are so heedless! (7:179)
4-with those He will engrave faith on their hearts, assist them with a spirit from Himself. (58:22)
5- Say: “My servants who have acted extravagantly against themselves still do not despair of God's mercy. (39:53)
6- We shall let anyone who acts honorably, whether it is a man or a woman provided he is a believer, live a happy life (76:97)
7-only those who listen will respond, plus the dead whom God will raise; then unto Him will they return. (6:36)
