He taught him Bayan (55:4)

Man, the representative of Allah (swt) on Earth, is honored by the Creator Almighty. Man's mark of distinction is not only his creation but also the teaching he received: "He taught him Bayan". He was given expression, distinction, discrimination, and guidance. What is left if Man turns his back on his honor and on the Divine Teachings and tries to make up his own laws?
