Humans are God's vicegerents and relatives on Earth. They are the only beings chosen by God, possessing free will, to whom all other beings are subject. In other words, God, who possesses absolute will on Earth and who can do whatever He wills, has breathed His own spirit into humankind. Humans can act like God on Earth through their will, acting like Him. But not to the same degree as He does.
Most importantly, humans exist between clay and God, and because they possess free will, they have the freedom to lean toward either. Freedom and the right to choose also bring with them the obligation to be responsible. Therefore, according to Islam, humans are the only beings responsible for their own destiny.
