Islam makes its adherents concerned not only about the Ummah but also about every man on this earth. A man blinded in nationalistic bigotry could never be tolerant and sympathetic towards other nations. (Islam is opposed to this. It considers all the creatures of Allah as one family. He who serves it much is as much beloved of Allah.
Quran has given a common command to serve the needy, the indigent, the handicapped, the orphans and the unfortunate. It has never said that only Muslims or a particular group should be served. It wants that the entire mankind should be served. Whether they are related to us or not, agree with us or not, speak our language or not, all deserve to be served without any difference or distinction. Any man on this earth in affliction will not be left uncared for but would be helped to overcome his hardships, because inspite of different colour, nationality and homeland, human beings are one another's limbs as they are created of one essence. This fact is evident from Ahadith, some of which are given below:
The Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said: Allah is not merciful on a person who is not merciful towards others.
The Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said: Rahman, the Merciful showers mercy on those who are merciful. Be merciful on the people of this earth, the Heaven will be merciful on you.
The Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said: You would never be people of faith unless you are merciful.
The best person amongst you is the one from whom people expect only good, and they are safe from his wickedness. The vile amongst you is the one from whom people do not expect any good, and they are not safe from his wickedness.
These traditions teach us to serve all creatures of Allah without any distinction. Islam is of the view that we should help anyone who is in need of our sympathy and help. Dividing mankind into groups and parties as one's own and others, acquaintances and strangers, co-religionists and followers of other religion in the matter of social service is against the nature and teachings of Islam.
These traditions underline the significance of service to humanity. How can a Muslim deny the importance of those acts which arc as good as daily worship and make one beloved of Allah with his nearness to Him: and cause the showering of mercy and removes the moral failings of stony heartedness and cruelty, and make him a member of refined and altruistic society? There is such a great inducement for him in this that he does not need any greater inducement in this respect.
