We who believe in God, attribute ownership of all creations to God. As muslims, we believe that God created many things. However, the virus of arrogance is present in us. We want to believe that we are the center of attraction and the universe is there for us only. A traditional muslim is made to believe that us humans are "THE BEST OF CREATION", or as it is traditionally stated "Ashraf-ul-maqlukat". Since we love to be pampered, most of us never bother criticising this belief. On top of that, we have the mullahs/sheikhs/imams/scholars constantly ensuring us that we are indeed the best.
Is it really the case ? Human beings are the best of Allah's creations ? The rapist that raped a child and then brutally murdered her is unfortunately a human being too. Does this not bother you ? How on earth does being born out of the womb of a homosapien (human) qualify you to be "THE BEST" ?
Planets orbiting the Sun according to the laws of the creator are inferior infront of you, for what ? What makes you The Best when those planets are doing some real work to prove their qualifications ? God gives a Book and most get busy breaking every rule of the Book , is that what makes us The Best ? I dont know about you, but that title makes no sense to me. It is a very arrogant and delusional idea that human beings are "The Best of all creation". I grew up knowing that humans are really the best of all creations according to God. But as I started reading the Qur'an, it was made plain to me. God never said so. Infact, what He said was:
"As for those who believe and do good works, they are the best of creation. " [ Qur'an 98:07] So, you believing alone is not enough. You need to be righteous, do good to have any chance of being the best of creation. But who listens to Allah/God ? After all, your scholars studied so much, they cant be wrong. Allah protected his kitaab for you, this should have been your furqaan (critereon), but why will you use it when you have other man made books to decide for you. After all, no matter how much traditional muslims say that Qur'an is their number one source, simple questioning of ANY thing reveals that Qur'an is the last place where they get their religion from. Just incase you still doubt about what I just said about being the best, here is another ayaat(sign/verse) from the Qur'an: "And We have honored the Children of Adam and carried them in the land and the sea, and We have provided for them of the good things, and We have preferred them over many of those We created in a marked preference." [ Qur'an 17:70] The next time your favourite sheikh boasts about being the best , ask him/her to explain the highlighted part of the ayaat. God preferred children of Adam over "many", which means that he did not prefer us over "all". I hope that God increases us in knowledge and understanding and guides us all to His straight path.

Masha Allah this is beautiful blog. That's keeps me connect with true knowledge of Islam. Jazak Allah Khair. I recommend www.learnquran.com.au for my brothers and sisters who want to learn quran online.
ReplyDeleteAssalaaamu alaikum, I was searching for an answer to "What is Allah's best creation?" this morning on the internet and I stumbled on your article. I just wanted to say thank you for opening up the dialogue to a great question that some of us (muslims) have. I also, love how you mention how most of us do not reference The the Quran enough and use various other books to find answers to what Allah has already answered in the Quran. My only concern is that the answer you gave regarding what is Allah's best creation still does not answer the question in my opinion. You emphasied that Allah preferred us over many meaning not over all creation still doesn't answer if we are Allah's best creation. Preference is different from creating. We may be Allah's best creation but He did not give us preference above all his creation just over many but not all. We still have some researching to do.
ReplyDeleteI see some amazingly important and kept up to length of your strength searching for in your on the site Best Student
