Dear Folks
All children born in this world are equal by birth on account of their
being human beings. None of them is rich or poor, high caste or low
caste, officer of servant. But these differences are brought into
being soon after birth. Everybody shall try to take care of rich
parents child but few shall try even to look at a child born in a poor
house. A child born inside the room of a bungalow and the other one
born in the servant quarters of the same bungalow become
differentiated immediately after birth. All shall pay respect to the
child of an officer but shall rebuke the child of a servant. It is no
fault of any one child to take birth in a poor house and it is no
virtue of any other child to take birth in a rich family. Thus it is
unjust to differentiate one from the other. Similarly it is absolutely
a wrong attitude to distinguish between people as one of low caste and
the other of high caste.
Allah has said: We have honoured humanity as a whole. (17/70)
Therefore all human beings belonging to any country, nation or race,
speaking any language having been born in a rich or poor family and
belonging to any religion are equal and worth of respect. Then what is
the criterian of one's position in a society? The Quran says: And to
all are (assigned) degrees according to the deeds (which they have
done). (46/19)
One who does good deeds is more respectable than the one who does bad
deeds. On the other hand one who performs good deeds, if he begins to
do bad deeds, his position in the society shall be lowered. Similarly
the one who does bad deeds if he begins to do good deeds, his position
shall be gradually raised in the society. Thus one's position in the
society shall be in proportion to the quality of his deeds. The Quran
says: The most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is the one who is
more obedient to the laws of Allah Almighty. (49/13)
Most of the people attach more importance to boys as compared with the
girls and men are considered superior to women. This is a bad thing.
According to the Holy Quran men and women are all human beings, equal
to each other by birth and equally worth of respect. As said earlier,
the criterion of respect and of being high or low among all human
beings, men as well as women is the quality of their deeds.
Thanks
