Considering Humanity, not only Humans
Considering Humanity, not only Humans
So there's one forgetten right and without it, the world is going to be a wildlife for specific predators and the remaining will be preys. That forgetten thing is 'Humanity'.
Definition of humanity
Humanity refers to what human beings varry from other beings. Sometimes it's known as the characteristics or deeds that are good in mentally and socially.
Furthermore, it's also the sympathy, kindness and helping among humans, not like beasts, regardless of colour, gender, lineage and tongue.
To measure fairly, we all from Adam and he was created by Allah from a soil; thus, we have to respect and take pity on men anywhere in the world.
However, there're other modern definitions, which came from the west as a result of being contact with other cultures, so it's necessary to look at the aspect of Islam on it.
Comprehension of Humanity in Islam
Infact, humanity generally it's intended the empathy and sympathy for all mankind and treating with them in a positive way.
Every individual who has a further look or knowledge on the Islamic religion will perceive the complete attainments and achievements of humanity and brotherhood among human is a fundamental goal of the Islamic goals.
The charity, for instance, minimises basically the rate of poverty in the Muslim society and it’s taken from the wealthy people to the poor ones. And the Pilgrimage(Al Haj) is an Islamic Liturgy.
Indeed, It shows that all humans are same without separation, and they're the childrens of Adam; thus, it’s one of the most conspicuous models of humanity in Islam.
Definately, the understanding of humanity in Islam is one of the Islamic principles: to keep contact with the kingship and to meet them with a good greeting and counting, to smile whenever you are with them and to consider everyone’s thoughts and feelings.
Moreover, Islam implants Muslims to do the deeds that increase the love and mercy among humans: by helping the feeble and old-aged people; by spending money to its deserver no matter of his religion and principle.
The manifestation of humanity in Islam
Islam is the religion of peace: a peace that based on justice, glory and reputation, but it’s not a peace that stand on idleness, weakness and surrendering.
In Islam, every individual is a break among the community bricks and it should be respected and counted quietly well.
Also, all Muslims are like an organ. If a part of it gets injured, the rest will be at the same. Despite of that, there’s no oppressing, cheating and abusing that Islam allows.
Verily, there's no constitution or religion that reaches all humanity such of that except the Islamic Religion. No discrimination, no racism and belittling is in Islam.
Humanitarian modals of the Messenger of Allah
Perhaps, the explanation of the humanity in Islam is the sympathy and doing the righteous deeds.
Definitely, the Messenger of Allah(s.c.w) is one of the greatest examples of humanity with all mankind, Muslim, Kafir, man, woman, child and adult.
Not only that sympathy, but also he was striving on educating the people to do the righteousness and to be cognizant of injustice and its results in both lives.
Here are some models and features which explain the humanitarian of the Messenger of Allah:
Humanity in dealing with non-Muslims
The Messenger of Allah taught us to be good and mercy to non-Muslims as Allah commanded him. Even if you see a non- Muslim out of thirst and you have a little water for ablution. You should first water him and then you do tayammum(to use soil instead).
The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Be aware, if anyone wrongs a contracting man, or diminishes his right, or forces him to work beyond his capacity, or takes from him anything without his consent, I shall plead for him on the Day of Judgement.( Narrated by Abu Daud).
This Hadith shows the right of man is a Muslim or not. Islamic religion was sent down by Allah not for only Muslims, but for the whole mankind and it's the only peaceful boat.
Humanity in dealing with Muslims
The Messenger of Allah said:
‘ Your smiling in the face of your brother is charity, commanding good and forbidding evil is charity, your giving direction to a man lost in the land is charity for you. Your seeing for a man with a bad sight is a charity for you, your removal of a rock, a thorn or a bone from the road is charity for you, your pouring what remains from your bucket into the bucket of your brother is charity for you.' ( Narrated by Tarmidi).
This hadith also goes around the deeds which don't need much effort to do them like smiling, guiding someone to the road and helping one another.
Consequently, It has a positive impact on the growth and development of brotherhood and consideration among Muslims, and secondly it empowers the humanity among the community.
Modals of humanity in today's life
Most importantly, humanity does not belong only to the era of the Messenger of Allah. But as he, the Messenger of Allah(s.c.w), taught Muslims, it's still carrying out.
For instance, once I was in a masjid, as the prayer was accomplished a poor person stood up, begged from the people to help him, so the people gathered money and gave him.
Simultaneously, I saw a young boy with a torn clothes. And looks filthy in appearance because he's homeless, having no parents and sleeps rough in the roads of the city.
The young boy travelled towards the poor person and gave him with money. I astounded to the boy and I knew that he works polishing shoes for people.
Comparatively, another day that I was in the city centre and I saw two poor women and as I glanced at them, one of them saw a disabled woman and she gave her with money.
It’s really amazing, so the remaining one shocked surprisingly because both of them were begging and they need money to survive and don’t have what to give.
But Islam is what encouraged both of them, the young boy and the poor woman, to give and not be stingy and tenacious to what Allah granted on them, even if it's not enough.
That’s Islam, the religion which is composed of all the humanity features and teaches to the all people to care on each other. Though It commands: everyone should help and look down at the one who is under him.
Islam is the religion that Allah consented to his servants completely. And he legislated on it what works for human beings in the Worldly Life and Hereafter.
For the result of that, in fact, endeavouring to do good to others and caring their feelings fully is what attains you to achieve Allah's content and paradise in the hereafter.
It’s been said: ‘what you sow is what you reap.’ If you do good, so you will get the same. And if you do bad, so you will get bad.
