LOVE ALLAH’S CREATIONS: 5

BE KIND TO ALLAH’S CREATIONS

In reality a person can do both of these things, that is fulfilling other people’s needs, and relieving their distress, only when they have compassion and love for Allah’s creations in his heart. If a person does these acts just to impress other people, then he will not get any Thawab (eternal reward). However, if he does these acts with the intention that these people are Allah’s creations, if I do any good to them then Allah Ta’alah will be pleased with me, then the same acts will become very valuable. If someone claims to love Allah Ta’alah then it is imperative that he must love His creations as well. If someone doesn’t love Allah’s creations then it means that he doesn’t truly love Allah Ta’alah.

In a Hadith, the Holy Prophet ﷺ said that Rahman (one of Allah’s names) is kind to those who are kind to other human beings. If you are kind to those who live on this earth, the One who owns the shies (meaning Allah Ta’alah) will be kind to you.

If a person doesn’t have kindness and mercy in his heart towards Allah’s creations then he doesn’t deserve to be called a Muslim. How can one expect to be deserving of Allah Ta’alah’s blessings when he himself doesn’t show any mercy to His creations! It is a prerequisite of Iman (faith) that one should love all the people and other beings created by Allah Ta’alah.
