But Allah Ta\u2018ala has specifically mentioned regarding man that he has been created for His \u2018ibaadat.<\/p>\n<p>To understand what \u2018ibaadat means, understand the following analogy: There are two types of workers. One is the person who has been contracted for a specific work, such as an accountant who has been hired for his services. If you tell him to manage a shop for you or to cook a meal he will refuse because he has not been trained for this. The other type of a worker is like a slave. Whatever work he is asked to do, he will do it, whether to serve your guests, or to clean the toilets, or to run your business. This is the position of man, and therefore he has been exalted above the rest of the creation because he has been made in charge of handling all the affairs of the entire creation for Allah Ta\u2018ala. This is what is meant by the worship and service of Allah Ta\u2018ala; that man will be acting as a representative of Allah Ta\u2018ala in fulfilling His commandments on earth. Therefore, man cannot be selective and choose what he wants to do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hazrat Mufti Ebrahim Salejee (Daamat Barakaatuhu) mentioned: Allah Ta\u2018ala states in the Quraan Shareef: \u0648\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0642\u064e\u062f\u0652 \u06a9\u064e\u0631\u0651\u064e\u0645\u0652\u0646\u064e\u0627 \u0628\u064e\u0646\u0650\u06cc \u0627\u0670\u062f\u064e\u0645\u064e \u201cIndeed We have honoured mankind\u201d Compared to the rest of the creation, man is unique in every aspect.
