Why are humans the best creatures?
He who has life is a living being. According to the scholars, Allah has created a total of 70,000 objects together with matter and living beings. 40,000 on land and 40,000 on water. Jinn, angels and humans are the best of these creations; But man is Ashraful Makhlukat or the best creature of creationAllaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "Verily, We have honored the children of Adam and established them in the water and on the land, provided them with the means of subsistence and exalted them over many of His creations."
Man's superiority: Man's superiority has been proved by various narrations in the Holy Qur'an and Hadith. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, ‘When Allaah creates the earth, it shakes. Then He made the mountains and set them on it. As a result, the earth becomes stable. The angels were surprised to see the mountains and asked, O our Lord! Is there anything stronger in your creation than the mountains? God said, "Yes, that is iron." The angels asked again, O our Lord! Is there anything stronger than iron in your creation? Allah says, "Yes, there is fire." The angels ask again, O our Lord! Is there anything in your creation that is stronger than fire? Allah says, "Yes, there is wind." The angel asks, O our Lord! Is there anything stronger in your creation than the wind? Allah says, ‘Yes, that is the son of Adam. What he donates with his right hand, he keeps secret with his left hand. '
Unique qualities: Allah has bestowed on man some qualities which are not found in other creations. Beautiful appearance, balanced body, balanced nature, physique etc. have been given to human beings only, which has not been given to any other creature. Apart from that, people have been given special uniqueness in intellect and consciousness. As a result, people can engage the entire upper world and the lower world in their work. He has been given the power to make different artefacts in a combination of different created objects. No other creature possesses the ability to speak and communicate. It is the uniqueness of these people to convey their secret thoughts to others through gestures, to reach secret differences through writing and letters. All animals eat a single object. Some eat raw meat, some eat fish and some eat fruits. Only people prepare and eat mixed food. Conscience, intellect and consciousness are the highest virtues of human beings. As a result, he accepts the likes and dislikes, knowing the identity of his Creator and Lord and His likes and dislikes.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: On the Day of Judgment, no other creation will be more honored by Allaah than man. It is asked, O Messenger of Allah! Will it also apply to the angels who are close to God? That is, is the dignity of man more than the nearest angels? The Prophet (peace be upon him)In reply, he said, "Even the nearest angels will not be more dignified than a class of people."
Everything in the world was created for the benefit of human beings: Allah has created everything for the benefit of human beings. He said, "He is the One who created everything on earth for your (human's) good." (Surat al-Baqara: 29)
People deserve respect: The Prophet (peace be upon him)In his Farewell Hajj speech, he proclaimed the supremacy of the people, saying, "In this holy city of yours, this day in this holy month is as holy and dignified as your blood, your wealth and your honor."
Killing human beings is a great sin: Killing animals has been declared forbidden in all religions of the world. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): And whoever saved his life, let him save everyone's life. '(Surat al-Ma'ida: 32) The human body is very dignified and honorable. So the severed or severed part of the human body must be preserved. The best way to protect it is to bury it in the ground. The Prophet (peace be upon him)Instructed to bury seven things in the human body. Such as cut hair, nails, blood, menstrual blood, teeth, isolated parts and vomiting. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, ‘Killing a believer is worse to Allaah than destroying the whole world.’ (Nasai, 6/73)
Human level: The first level people are the prophets and messengers, then their followers. Among the prophets and messengers, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) has the highest status, then his companions, then the Tabi'is, then the Tabi'is. The Prophet (peace be upon him)Said, the best era is my era. Then the age of the Companions, then the age of the Tabi'is, then the age of the Tabi'is (Tirmidhi, Hadith number: 3306) Some scholars have said that man is divided into four levels. The first level of people are those who benefit others and themselves. They are good people. Seeing such a great man searching for the Greek philosopher Diogenes Kalbi with a lamp in his hand, the traveler asked, "Philosopher, what are you looking for with a lamp lit in broad daylight?" “I’m looking for good people,” he replied. The second level is people who try to benefit others by benefiting themselves. They are the mighty dictators. The third level of people are those who benefit themselves but do not benefit others, they are like greedy dogs. The fourth level of people are those who do not benefit themselves and do not benefit others, they are stingy miser.
In the Holy Qur'an, good people have been called Muhsin, gracious, righteous, very faithful, Saleh, virtuous, just, etc. And the wicked person has been called an oppressor, a transgressor, a sinner, a deceiver, a hypocrite, etc.
Giving to man is like giving to the Lord: It is mentioned in the hadith that Allah will say on the Day of Judgment - ‘O children of Adam! I was sick, you did not serve me; I asked you for food, you did not give me food; I asked you for water, you did not give me water. People will say - how can I make you drink water, you are the Lord of the whole world! Allaah will say, 'Such and such a slave of mine asked you for water, you did not give him water, if you give him water then I will get his exchange today.'
