Summary/Abstract: The specific characteristic of the mental constitution of humans and jinns, in comparison to other creatures of Allah, is the freedom of will. The principle of human free will is displayed through their constructive or destructive behavior toward themselves and/or their overall environment. Taking into consideration the origin of will, it might be claimed that the quality of the human behavior is proportional to the quality of their spiritual life. Hence, the potential of human destructive behavior is determined, in addition to the effect of environmental stimuli, also by the corresponding mental constitution, in the shaping of which, according to the Qur'anic text, the phenomenon of tugjan plays an extremely negative role.
