"The commonality or difference of the original nature of humans" is one of the important controversial issues in anthropology and has a fundamental impact on various human sciences. In the Holy Quran, on the one hand, a group of verses indicate the commonality of the original nature of humans, and on the other hand, from some verses, one can infer the difference of their original nature. Using the thematic interpretation method, this study examines the Holy Quran's perspective on the aforementioned issue and the commonality between the two groups of verses. According to this research, with regard to the first group of verses, the Holy Quran considers the principle of the primary nature of humans to be common, but the verses of the second group, some of them do not fundamentally refer to the primary nature, and others refer to the differences in some characteristics of the primary nature of humans - such as actuality and power or intensity and weakness - without expressing a difference in the principle of their nature.
