The Qur’an For All Humanity
Two Heights
~ 91 ~
In no circumstance is man able to free himself from
hardships. This shows that man is under some
superior power. Similarly, human eyes tell us that
there is a superior eye which is watching us. Man’s
power of speech is indicative of the fact that there is
a Being with superior power of speech, Who has
given him the faculty of speech and has shown him
the right path. If man were to recognise himself in
the real sense he would certainly recognise God.
God has commanded man to scale two kinds of
heights. One is just behaviour towards human
beings and bowing to their needs. Another is firm
belief in God. When this conviction is embedded
deeply within man, it does not remain confined to
his own self but is transmitted to others. The true
believer makes the utmost effort to bring others to
the same divine path which he himself has come to
tread.
Man finds it most difficult to lead a life which is
guided by divine principle. But this apparent
difficulty is in actual fact a facility, as it is going to
lead man towards eternal salvation.
