🌹 Islam is respect



🌸Another beautiful aspect of Islam is respect for humanity and the universe in which we live. Islam states clearly that it is the responsibility of each member of the human race to treat creation with respect, honour and dignity.  The most deserving of respect is the Creator Himself and of course respect begins with loving and obeying His commandments.  Total respect for God allows all the manners and high standards of morality that are inherent in Islam to flow into our lives and the lives of those around us. Because Islam binds respect to peace, love and compassion this involves respecting the honour, reputation and privacy of others.  Respect involves staying completely away from the major sins of backbiting, lying, slander, and gossip. It means avoiding sins that will sow discord among the people or lead to destruction. 



Respect also includes loving for our brothers and sisters what we love for ourselves.  It involves treating others the way we expect to be treated and the way we hope God will treat us – with compassion, love and mercy.  Major sins put a barrier between humanity and God’s Mercy and cause all the torment, misery and evil in this world and the hereafter.  God commands us to stay away from sin and to strive against our own destructive character flaws. We live in an age where we often demand respect from others but may not respect those around us. One beauty of Islam is that it allows us to regain lost respect by submitting wholeheartedly to the will of God.  However if we do not understand how and why we surrender to God’s will we cannot gain respect we want and need.  Islam teaches us and God reminds us in the Quran that our sole purpose in life is to worship Him.  



“And I (God) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone).” (Quran 51:56)
