Serving Humanity

English book, p. 73

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Serving Humanity “O God whatever I have has been given by You. Now I am again spending it in Your cause.” By doing social service, by coming to the assistance of others, a person does not just help others but rather elevates his own position, because using the gifts he has received from God only for himself is being selfish. A selfless person is one who does not live inside the cocoon of his own self but aims to reach out to the whole of humanity. He feels he must lead his life in this world as the well-wisher of all. He should be ever ready to help others. He should accept the rights others have over his wealth. The service of mankind is in other words, the service of humanity and after the worship of God, there is no work greater than that of serving people.
