ISLAMIC SPIRITUALITY AND HUMAN RIGHTS
The highest aim of spirituality is to make other humans happy, satisfied, and content while bearing a broken heart within oneself. To sacrifice one’s own inner peace in order to create a more peaceful world for others is the highest aim of Islamic spirituality.
The lowest aim of spirituality, or the minimum, is to not hurt others when one cannot bring them happiness in a way that would be beneficial.
EQUALITY OF RIGHTS
Nobody is allowed to take pride, nor degrade others on the basis of:
- Skin Color
- Wealth and Income
- Social Status
- Rank
- Family Lineage or pedigree
Mankind is judged based on moral integrity, and the way one fulfills their obligations to Allah (SWT) and His creation.
The entire human race is one family. The division into nations, social groups, and communities are meant only to organize, identify, and learn about another.
