        One of the theological issues is characteristics and capabilities tha are mentioned for man based on a number of the Qur'anic verses. Accordingly, many of the theologians and interpreters of office of Divine Caliph consider divine respect and trusteeship of man for God. There are different views about characteristic of man's "trusteeship" and what "lack of observation of trusteeship" by man means, as referred to in Ahzab: 72. The most important of them is the two views that are faced in contrast; one is the well-known view prevalent in modern times which implies lack of observation as man's "trusteeship" and regarding the verse as the reason behind honorability and existential capacity of man. Another view implied by man is lack of observation of trusteeship as non-trusteeship and it makes sense that he says the verse bears flaws and negative aspects. In this article, the second interpretation is being designated or at least is preferred through semantic sense of keywords of the verse, particularly word of "lack of observation" added to "trusteeship" and analysis of verse contents and use of evidence available in the register of the verse and the other verses of the Qur'an.
