Human Beings, Born Free and Equal –My Quranic Perspective (Part 1)

"When we say that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity we mean that every human being has to have the same opportunity in life, example: in getting a job, education, or attaining resources necessary for life.

The honor and appointment of human beings as trustees by God

Surah At-Tin verse 4 of the Quran says:

“Verily, We created humans (insanaa) in the best stature (taqwim) (mould)” (Quran: 95: 4)

The word “insanaa” refers to all human beings and not to any one specific individual or groups of individuals".

Malaysia is our Home

It is obvious that the country belongs to all its citizens.

Malaysia is the home of all Malaysians. All Malaysians. Since it is our home, it is our duty to take care of it.

Even in our house, sometimes we have our siblings who may do things that may damage our home. Or they may show selfish tendencies that make the house less of a home. Home is to be shared by all. We have to make it a happy home habitable by all of us.

If we do not care for the state of the home, then we are behaving like a guest in the hotel. We have no say in the state of the hotel room. We just do not care as long as we can sleep there for a while. We have no attachment.

To some citizens, the country may be a house, but to the Rapera, the country is a home.
