A Story of A New Comer.
"And [mention] when We said to the angels, 'Prostrate to Adam,' and they prostrated, except for Iblis. He said, 'Should I prostrate to one You created from clay?'" (Quran 17:61).
This verse highlights Iblis' refusal, rooted in arrogance and disdain for a creation made from clay—a reminder of the destructive nature of pride.
Clay, the essence of our creation, is a simple yet remarkable material composed of natural elements like quartz, metal oxides, and organic matter. It symbolizes humility and the unity of our origins.
We are all created from the same substance, and our worth is determined not by external factors but by our Taqwa (piety) and good deeds. Allah’s justice is absolute, and He does not favor one soul over another based on wealth, status, or privilege.
The discrimination and mistreatment of others contradict the principles of justice and compassion enjoined upon us. It is disheartening to witness individuals treated poorly, especially newcomers who leave behind their families and familiar lives to work in foreign lands. They deserve respect, kindness, and fair treatment, regardless of their circumstances.
The incident of Iblis serves as a timeless reminder. His arrogance did not elevate him; instead, it led to his downfall. Allah granted him respite until the Day of Resurrection:
(Iblis) said: "Grant me respite until the Day they are resurrected." (Allah) said: "You are of those given respite." (Quran 15:36-37).
This wisdom teaches us that true superiority lies not in worldly distinctions but in faith and righteousness.
Inequality, whether in the form of VIP labels or unjust treatment of workers, contradicts our shared humanity. Facilities that prioritize grandeur while neglecting the basic needs of their staff exhibit a lack of compassion. Every individual, regardless of their role, deserves dignity, comfort, and fairness.
Ultimately, we all return to the same earth, wrapped in a simple white shroud, equal in death. There are no VIP sections in the graveyard or before Allah's judgment.
Our responsibility is to act with kindness, humility, and justice, reflecting good intentions in our conduct toward others. This message is not just a reminder but a call to action, for the principles of divine justice are unwavering, and the treatment we extend to others will ultimately shape our own outcomes.
Let us strive for a world where every soul is valued and treated with the dignity they deserve, fulfilling the trust placed upon us as stewards of justice and compassion.
