Human perfection has several aspects. Three of these are very eminent and can not be ignored.
1.Body
2.Lifestyle
3.Morality
* Body is perfect as compared to other creations. As Quran says: "We have indeed created man in the best of moulds" Al-Teen95:4
If it is compared to the Creator, then surely it is not perfect as we know that creators are better than their creation in this world.
As a body we observe that it can experience sickness and ultimately vanish, which alludes to its defect.
*Lifestyle is a continuous change. It started the journey of evolution from the first human being - Adam (A.S) and will end even beyond the Doomsday as the good and bad human beings will be ascended to the new levels of lifestyle in hereafter (Paradise and Hell).
Technology and lifestyle go side by side and we know this fact that the man in each era claimed to be at the top in technology. But the fact is that still this journey is in progress and we don't know its exact end.
Thus the lifestyle is always believed to be the most modern and perfect which is nothing more than a illusion.
*Morality is something which is regarded always as a true basis of civilizations. Religions came to discipline this morality. Even in the non-religious societies there is some kind of code of conduct and understanding to keep the society civilized at a certain level.
Morality is something which goes up and come down as Quran depicts in the next verse:"Then do WE abase him (To be) the lowest of the low." Al-Teen95:5
Man has to make effort to achieve highest level of perfection to get the title of PERFECT, which is not easy but is not impossible. I'll give the reference of the next verse of the same chapter. It says:"Except such as believe and do righteous deeds: For they shall have a reward unfailing." Al-Teen95:6
CONCLUSION: This brief description enables us to understand that the true perfection can be achieved only by attainig the highest level of MORALITY which can not be secured without a divine guidance. This guidance is in following Islamic teachings in its letter and spirit.
Perfection is a notion beyond simple definitions.Perfection works actually as an ongoing process within a system of significance. the system of perfection woks in many ways to dominate. Infact, perfection is a system of exlusion. Imperfect forms works within the spheres of pefectibility to rainforce the already existing system of perfection. For instance, a monster is always depicted to be violent , wicked and malicious to stress the dangerous consequences of crossing the limits of normalcy and perfectibility. finally, ultimate perfection is unattainble. For this precise reason each person tries his or her best to avoid that feeling of something missed in his or her life that makes happiness momentenium. Thus, each one of us is trapped in an elusive mission to reach ultimate perfection.
