The Call of the Quran
4. Moral Concept of Islam
~ 68 ~
In other words, man should be large-hearted
enough to embrace the truth whenever it is revealed
to him, and when confronted with man’s
oppression of man, his heart should be rent with
agony. He should, moreover, adopt a submissive
rather than a rebellious posture.
Just as a fountain of water gushes forth from among
the rocks, so should the spirit of submission to the
truth flow from man’s heart. And just as the trees
and mountains bow to the will of God, so should
man submit totally to God’s command. Indeed,
man’s surrender to God should have all the speed
and finality of the landslide.
SOFT SPOKENNESS
The Qur’an says that birds sing the praise of God
with the words
Subhan Allah:
(All praise is due to
God)
Do you not see how God is praised by those
in the heavens and on earth and the birds (of
the air) with wings spread? He notes the
prayers and praises of all His creatures and
has knowledge of all their actions (24:41).
