we are special - KIBAR '10

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

salam. results, wealth, houses, cars. we may often feel inferior when someone is better than us especially in these aspects. but do we realize that every each one of us is special. being a human himself is an ultimate gift from Allah SWT. the widespread blue sea and the sky, colourful flowers, fierce and strong tigers are among His amazing creations. and among all of these, He chose humans as His best creation.

لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الإِنسَـنَ فِى أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمٍ
"Verily, We created man in the best form" (95:4)

although we are created from clay while malaikat made from light, Allah still asked them to prostrate to us as a sense of respect.

وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَـئِكَةِ اسْجُدُواْ لأَدَمَ فَسَجَدُواْ إِلاَّ إِبْلِيسَ أَبَى

"And (remember) when We said to the angels: "Prostrate yourselves to Adam.'' They prostrated themselves (all) except Iblis; he refused.)" (Taha : 116)

humans have an exceptional position in His eyes. what's greater than this?
on top of that, we are actually so remarkable that He specially sends Quran down for us. it's not for the sky reaching Himalayan mountain range. it's not for the gigantic Coast Redwood tree which is 115.5m above the ground. but it's for us. little tiny creatures called humans!

"Had We sent down this Qur'an on a mountain, you would surely have seen it humbling itself and rent asunder by the fear of Allah. Such are the parables which We put forward to mankind that they may reflect.)" (59:21)

even every minor incident happens for a reason, so does Allah create a very special creation without a purpose? of course not. He is the All-Wise, All-Knowing. as our life itself is a special gift, so let's be special in His eyes. let's fulfill our purpose of life!! insyaAllah.

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالإِنسَ إِلاَّ لِيَعْبُدُونِ

"And I created not the Jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me." (51:56)
