Righteous Humanity
The Call For Prosperity
Of Humanity
•It is the undoubted fact that Allah is the owner, the lord and the
organizer of this universe.
•Man is a creature of Allah with a role to play in this universe.
•Islam stress that man cannot be truly spiritual without being
human…
The world mankind itself: is repeated 63 times throughout the
book, and “people” repeated two hundred forty 240 times in the
surah revealed both in Mecca and Medina.

Liberating Man From the
Worship of Man
We should worship only God . non of the others . nor human
neither objects.
“Should I seek a judge other than God ,
while God is the one Who has revealed to you the book (
Quran), wee expounded “ (al-an’am : 114)
1) Prayers are an aid for man in the difficulties of his life. “O
you who believe! Seek help through patience and prayer”
2) Fasting is, as well, a way of strengthening man’s will to be
patient in times of troubles.
It also allows him to sympathize with those in pain so
that he may be more compassionate to them

Righteous human
All religions basically exhort humankind to be righteous and eschew
evil. But Islam goes beyond that. It guides us towards practical
ways of achieving righteousness and eliminating evil from our
individual and collective lives
Righteous human is the foundation of the righteous family. If and
only one is righteous human then he can build a righteous family
otherwise it is impossible
To Islam, such a righteous human being is the foundation of a
righteous family, of a righteous society, of a righteous nation and of
a righteous mankind
15
 Human being of Islam, similarly, is the human being of
devotion and worship. He knows that the universe around him
has been created for him, but in turn he himself was created
for the servitude of Allah alone.
 The Muslim — besides being a being of faith and belief, and
devotion and worship — is a being of an upright character and
noble deeds. He embodies purity with all its denotations, and
exemplifies virtues of justice, mercy and altruism
 Islam teaches that good character and noble attitude are the
requisites of the belief and exigencies of faith
16
Righteous family
 Righteous family is the foundation of the righteous society.
 The quality of social life that a community has depends on the
kind of families that constitute the society. If the members of
the families are righteous, then the society will be also
righteous.
 It is based on a detailed and rigid set of rules about
interpersonal relationship.
17
© Mohammed Hoque (2013)
 Islamic family appears better designed to stand up to
contemporary and western pressures and influences
 Righteous husband and wife, children in the family learn the
values of love and compassion of sacrifice for others, of
tolerance, mercy and kindness and other virtuous deeds.
 The institution of marriage and the family have been
commended as the Sunnah.
