Human nature is a complex subject and it is difficult to grasp full knowledge of philosophical explanations of human beings. The kind of look and ideology that a religion or school gives to human beings is basically effective in the form and structure of that religion. It can be said that without knowing and being familiarized with the anthropology of a religion, its knowledge is not complete. In this study, we are going to discuss human nature from the perspective of the book of the Holy Qur'an and the ancient Upanishads, which are two important and sacred works from Islam and Hinduism. In this essay, we try to examine the views of the two religions, based on their sacred texts, which are the Holy Qur'an and the ancient Upanishads. The Holy Qur’an views human nature as pure and unconditional, that it always seeks and loves rightness and hates falsehood and impurity, and the old Upanishads considers human nature as part of a whole, which is pure and innocent and insists on saying that God and men have a direct relationship and that He created the man from His nature.Citas
