The Qur’an For All Humanity
O Mankind!
~ 82 ~
which no other gift can ever be thought better. With
all these gifts man has been installed in a world
which so perfectly accords with human
requirements as to seem incredible.
However, bounties always entail responsibilities, a
natural principle which applies to man. The
extraordinary gifts given to man are in themselves
an announcement of the fact that these gifts come
along with responsibilities.
These responsibilities for man are to consider the
blessings of God as the trust of God. And he should
put God’s bounties to use only in accordance with
His will.
The creation of man is for an extremely meaningful
purpose: one day he is to stand in the court of justice
in order that it may be judged who put these bounties
of God to the proper use and who failed to do so. On
this Day of Justice, which is to come after death, God
will judge all men according to their records. Those
who pass this test will be ushered into Paradise, and
those who do not will be thrown into Hell-fire.
