The Welfare of Humanity

God-consciousness makes a person serious, modest and responsible. He becomes a person who can sense others’ pain and is sympathetic to everyone.

While mentioning the blessings bestowed by God upon humans, the Quran says: “Remember the favours of God, so that you may prosper.’’ (7:69)

In the present world, the right attitude for a person depends upon only one thing and that is realism. That is, a person should understand his real position and should mould himself accordingly. Acknowledgement of his actual position is the source of all human virtues. What is this real position? It is that a human being is God’s creature. God has not only created him with the best of body and but he has given him a world which has all kinds of favourable factors. A person’s very existence is a blessing of God and the world with all its components is also a great blessing.

When this consciousness has been fully awakened within one, it results in his becoming a modest person and he starts living with a great sense of responsibility. He becomes a serious person and, with regard to his feelings, he becomes a person who can sense others’ pain and is sympathetic to everyone.

In such a society the presence of such people is a sure guarantee of its betterment. Such a society will be one based on justice rather than on oppression. In such a society everyone on their own initiative will fulfil their responsibilities, will not live for their own selves or become neglectful of others’ rights.

One who lives with the feelings of divine blessings is a lover of truth. This feeling which has been given to him by God compels him also to become a giver.
