The Muslim's Relationship with Allah, Self and Others How Allah has honored Man with Islam

Respect for Freedom of the Individual Islam forbids the enslavement of the free and instituted efforts towards the freeing of slaves who were representing the vast economic power at the advent of Islam Islam introduced a system to put an end to slavery- that is to say, by narrowing the doors of slavery, and opening wide the gates of liberation. Islam, meanwhile, enjoins kindness to slaves while waiting for their emancipation.

Respect For Freedom Of Possession And Disposal Of Wealth Islam allows for one to accumulate and dispose of his wealth as long as he is not transgressing the guidelines set by Allah One does not have to be a poor man to attain paradise

Respect Of Freedom of Opinion Without forcing anyone to enter Islam against his will; and to give him the opportunity to voice out his opinions through whomsoever he chooses to represent him. In judicial issues and the process involved, and indeed he should be encouraged to do that in enjoining good and forbidding evil

Islam Respects Man's Intellect Islam urges man to benefit from the universe, which has been dispensed to him in order to strengthen his faith and to make his condition comfortable Islam encourages one to deal with proof as given from Quran and Sunnah “ Say to them O Mohammad Produce your evidence which convinces the mind if you are declaring the truth.“ (Sura 2:111) And what is not witnessed by the five senses( faculties )or sane mind , is not taken into account “And pursue not that of which thou hast no knowledge; for every act of hearing, or of seeing or of (feeling in) the heart will be enquired into (on the Day of Reckoning).”

Islam Encourages Equality amongst all Men Allah reminds how all mankind come from the same source, so He indicates to people that He weighs them not by their parentage, lineage, descent or rank, in life, but by the image their hearts reflect “O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).

Islam has prohibited the Muslims from harming, in any shape or form those who have not embraced Islam, as long as they are peaceful. On the contrary, Islam permits interaction with them, and faithfulness or sincerity to them, “Allah forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you not for (your) Faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: for Allah loveth those who are just.” Also the Prophet (Sa) said: “He who hams one of the people of the Book (Zimmi) , I am his opponent on the Day of Resurrection.” (Cited by Abu Dawood) Finally Allah sums this issue well: “O ye who believe! stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for Allah can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest ye swerve, and if ye distort (justice) or decline to do justice, verily Allah is well- acquainted with all that ye do.”

So thus Allah has indeed honored mankind with Islam By establishing the laws and guidelines that it has, islam allows us to live in peace and harmony with one another It also allows us to enjoy the lawful good things here in life as we struggle for the hereafter
