Morality Encompasses All the Divine Attributes of Humanity

By Arman Neyazi, New Age Islam 20 February 2025 The Purpose Behind Our Creation Is Not To Distinguish Humanity Into Religions And Races But To Unite Them To Serve Humanity With Lessons Of Morality, Compassion, And Love. Main Points: 1. Morality is made of compassion, kindness, and love 2. We are created to spread our divine attributes without being specific to religion, caste, or creed. 3. The purpose behind our creation is not to distinguish humanity into religions and races ------ Morality is made of compassion, kindness, and love. And these are embedded qualities of human nature. We are created to spread our divine attributes without being specific to religion, caste, or creed. We should not name it Islamic, Hindu, Jewish or Christian. Allah, the Most Gracious, Himself says that He has made us into nations, religions, and tribes, in the Holy Quran, O humanity! Indeed, We created you from a male and a female, and made you into peoples and tribes so that you may ˹get to˺ know one another..… (Al Quran: 49:13) and surely does not say that the divine ingredients embedded in us are different. This world is an examination hall, and we all are here to try and come true to the purpose for which we are descended on this earth. Allah (All Praises be to Him Alone) says in the Holy Quran, Did you think that We created you without purpose, (Al-Mu’minun 23:115). The purpose behind our creation is not to distinguish humanity into religions and races but to unite them to serve humanity with lessons of morality, compassion, and love. It seems we have forgotten the purpose we are sent on this earth and have started dividing human beings into Muslims, Jews, Hindus, and Christians thus naming the divine attributes attributed to us by Allah, the most Kind, like morality and compassion Hindu morality, Jewish morality, Christian morality, and Islamic morality. Morality Has No Different Forms in Different Religions No matter what religion we belong to, the following lessons on morality teach us that we are the creation of one God who teaches us all to be high on the moral and compassionate ground that brings a humane essence to the world's inhabitants. Had there not been names of religious epics with the following verses and Hadees, it would not have been easy to distinguish between them. Lend unto God a goodly loan. Whatever good you shall forward on your own behalf, you shall find it with God, as better and richer in reward (al-Muzzammil 73:20 All that is with you comes to an end; but what is with God is everlasting (al-Nahl 16:96) Allah’s Messenger (SAW): “The one who does not treat others with mercy will not be treated mercifully.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim] "The best amongst you are those who have the best manners and character." (See Hadith No. 56 (B) Vol. 8) BG 4.20: Such people, having given up attachment to the fruits of their actions, are always satisfied and not dependent on external things. Despite engaging in activities, they do not do anything at all. BG 2.47: You have a right to perform your prescribed duties, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions. Never consider yourself to be the cause of the results of your activities, nor be attached to inaction. BG 2.48: Be steadfast in the performance of your duty, O Arjun, abandoning attachment to success and failure. Such equanimity is called Yog. Sanmee (2020) states that Sri Krishna explains morality as: A man of self-control, who moves among the objects with the senses under his control and free from attachment [raga] and hatred [dvesa], he attains the serenity (Gita 2.64). It is further said: When your intellect will go beyond the mire of delusion (moha), then you will become indifference to the difference between what is worth listening to and what “The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them.” – Proverbs 11:3 “Better the poor whose walk is blameless than the rich whose ways are perverse.” – Proverbs 28:6 “The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy.” – Proverbs 12:22 “As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart.” – Proverbs 27:19 Nations and individuals may learn the concept of universal morality amidst the ruins of moral degradation, through the following reads: Are People Really Becoming Less Ethical? Why Is the World in Moral Decline? People Everywhere Believe Society’s Morals Are In Decline Two Versions of the Moral Life in Time of War II In the light of, we reap, what we sow, we should rest assured that our moral, compassionate, and loving acts towards God’s creation will not go unanswered and we will be rewarded on the Day of Judgement, as the Holy Quran states: Lend unto God a goodly loan. Whatever good you shall forward on your behalf, you shall find it with God, as better and richer in reward (al-Muzzammil 73:20 Allah’s Messenger (SAW) says: “The one who does not treat others with mercy will not be treated mercifully.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim] And Allah Knows the Best ---- Arman Neyazi is a columnist with NewAgeIslam.com.
