O men! Worship your Lord Who created you and those
before you so that you may guard (against evil).
This verse contains the first commandment and is
addressed to all mankind and not to the Arabs only. This indicates that Islam,
from the very beginning claimed to be a universal religion, which conceived
mankind as one brotherhood. Allah is full of pity to all His creatures and He
will never punish anyone as long as He does not send His Messenger.
If we, men, really we have a sensitive heart, recognising the beauty and value of Allah’s creation, realising that God gifted us with basic necessities of life for free for a limited time, so we have to worship only Him and not to associate anything or anybody to Him.
