Abstract
Transhumanism, which emerged in the second half of the 20th century, is a movement that argues human nature is not fixed and immutable; rather, it can be transformed through technological and scientific innovations. In the transhumanist future, human forms are expressed through terms such as transhuman, posthuman, cyborg, and homo cyberneticus, reflecting the potential and levels of advancement of nanotechnology, biotechnology, and information technology in transforming humanity. From a Quran-centered perspective, humans are rational beings endowed with free will and bear responsibility. The most fundamental responsibility of a human is to recognize their Creator and their servitude. Humans, who are obliged to reflect the exemplary personalities of God's prophets, the vicegerents of Allah on Earth, are also tasked with cultivating the land. In the face of ideologies like transhumanism that aim to transcend human biological and cognitive limits, we believe it is crucial to revisit the Islamic conception of humanity. We are of the opinion that the studies conducted in this direction will be an important step towards reinterpreting Islam's universal message and providing solutions to contemporary issues.
