Allah has honoured the
Children of Adam 017-070. All human beings are
the Children of Adam. So, all human beings
must be treated with honour, respect and
regard, without distinction of any kind, such as
the colour of their skin, their race, line of
descent, social background, national origin,
gender, age, language, religion, political or
other opinion, education, occupation, job,
wealth, property or any other status.
The most honoured is
the one who is the best in Taqwa
049-013 i.e.
- the one who best follows
the Right Guidance [047-017,
039-028
], the Straight and the Balanced
Path 006-153 and best complies with the Laws and
Commands of Allah, with humility and
submissiveness, in all walks of life 002-021
- the one
who has conviction in
Allah and the Last Day and the Angels and the
Book and the Prophets, and gives his wealth that
he loves, to: family and relatives; orphans;
widows; those left helpless in the society;
those whose hard-earned income fails to meet
their basic needs; those whose running
businesses have stalled; those who have lost
their jobs; whose life has stalled for any
reason; the disabled; the needy wayfarer, son of
the street, the homeless, the one who travels to
him for assistance; those who ask for help, and
those whose necks are burdened with any kind of
bondage, oppression, crushing debts and extreme
hardship of labour 002-177
-
the one who strives to establish the Divine
System of Salat, and set up the Just
Economic Order of Zakat; the one who is
true to his promises whenever he makes a
promise; the one who remains steadfast and keeps
constancy with the Divine Law in physical or
emotional distress and in times of peril 002-177
-
the one who keeps his wealth open for mankind in
favourable as well as in adverse circumstances;
who diverts and sublimates his anger and
potentially virulent emotions to creative
energy, and becomes a source of tranquility and
comfort to people; who pardons people
gracefully; who quickly corrects any wrong or
indecency that has occurred from him; who stays
mindful of (the Laws of) Allah, protects himself
from trailing behind in dignity, and refrains
from willfully persisting in error. [003-133- 135]
