Superiority Complex Leads to Evil CONTENTS
English book, p. 311
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
Acknowledging Someone Amounts to the Acknowledgment of God If a person has some special merit, it is not due to his own efforts. It is a direct gift from God. That is why acknowledging someone amounts to the acknowledgment of God, and not acknowledging someone amounts to failing to acknowledge God. That is why a person must be afraid of God while adopting the attitude of disregard for others. He should look upon his attitude as pertaining to God rather than pertaining to human beings. One aspect of this matter is of great significance and that is that acknowledging others is not acknowledgement in the simple sense: it relates rather to the development of one’s own personality. By acknowledging another’s merit or superiority is to promote one’s humanity, whereas disregarding is to vitiate one’s own personality in respect of its humanness. The issues of acknowledgement and disregard are of significance to all society. When one person acknowledges another, by doing so he promotes elevated human values in society. On the contrary, if he is not ready to give credit to another, the lack of appreciation and disregard will be promoted in society.
