Man is made as a vicegerent of Allah on the planet. Therefore, every creation has been subjected to him to facilitate the accomplishment of his noble tellurian mission.

Since everything is associated with him, he is the caretaker of all. Acceptance from The Creator cannot be attained unless His creation is treated well. The creation of Allah (SWT)is the threshold and door of the Divine court. To exhilarate Allah’s creation for the sake of Allah is one of the greatest deeds.

Mu’adh Ibn Jabal (R.A) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said:

“Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, said: ‘Those who love each other for the sake of My Majesty shall be upon podiums of light, and they will be admired by the Prophets and the martyrs”۔

(Jami At-Tirmidhi 2390)

Such great rewards are for those who adore humanity.

Allah Almighty has mentioned the rights of every single human being existing on this planet. He is so Merciful that He even mentioned how animals and plants should be treated. This shows how considerate He is about His creation and how He owns every single thing he made.

One cannot reach the high standard of piety while He owes anyone’s right or he holds grudge against any of mankind or hurt any animate or inanimate creation by desire.

Narrated Anas (R.A):

The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, “None of you will have faith till he wishes for his (Muslim) brother what he likes for himself”.

(Sahih al-Bukhari 13)

In the above hadith, Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) mentioned that faith will not be accomplished unless putting your feet in one’s shoes.

As to get affection from the artist one needs to adore the art. Likely, if one wants to be closer to Allah Almighty, he needs to get closest to His creation. To understand their pain, to mend their hearts, hold their hands, and wipe their tears, you need to shed your tears on their agony otherwise you cannot perceive their exertion. You won’t know the torment they are going through.

To love humanity means you should be humble with them, treat them the way you want yourself to be treated, and be kind and gentle with them. Be submissive in front of them so that they won’t feel humiliated.

Be the person you want for yourself. Listen to them like you want to have listened, treat them like you want to be treated, greet them like you want to be greeted, be the shoulder you want to cry upon, and be the support you needed some time. When you be there for others Allah will be there for you have faith in it. He loves those who love others
