Summary/Abstract: Human upbringing is multidimensional and only the such it should be seen. The man was and remains a puzzle that requires answers to many questions, but between them and on question of what is upbringing, where it is a source of refuge where, where the upbringing is appropriate and what is its primary role in the formation of the human personality? As social or humanistic sciences, including specifically: pedagogy, psychology, religion, philosophy and sociology, they all look upon on the need from proper education and its reflection on ever-increasing pace of technological development of a society that often do not pay enough attention to ethical and moral values, which are deeply embedded as human educational components. The question of man and his education in the Qur'an is illuminated from all sides and treated with the utmost care and with great respect. Islam defines man in two, seemingly, his separate aspects, although mutually inseparable: the first as his earthly existence, with its value and meaning, and other is beyond this (metaphysical) life in which eventually develops man's call, the purpose and meaning of existence. Qur'anic anthropology is based on the idea of integral human ideal which represents Prophet Muhammad p.b.u.h. and as science is not static category. It puts man in one important context of development, from its empirical realization to the final understanding of the Purpose or the Truth. Only then man's life, and his upbringing is not merely the duration or care for daily life, but it is an internal task of spiritual and moral selfconsecration. The path of human development, his becoming human, moves with line of release from the material, physical and sensory, to the spiritual and moral, and the pursuit of absolute values. Therein lies the profound meaning of the anthropological plan of the Qur'an which essentially defines human identity of gaining self-awareness, purpose, essence and outcome of life.
