Facilitated with all the means to attain nobility, but chooses to degrade himself


In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Allah [The Most High] said:

لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ فِي أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمٍ
ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَاهُ أَسْفَلَ سَافِلِينَ
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ فَلَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ

We have certainly created man in the best stature ‘in form, appearance, balance and strength, coupled with innate disposition and the power of reason. Then ‘due to his disbelief and opposing his innate disposition’, We return him to the lowest of the low in physical location, the Hellfire. Except those who believe and work righteous deeds, for they ‘due to their gratitude for being created in the best stature by worshipping Allah alone and obeying Him’, will have an unending, continuous reward ‘in Paradise, in the afterlife. [at-Teen 4-6]

Imam As-Sadi, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

Allah created the human perfectly with different body parts and organs, and did not leave anything the human needs – externally and internally. Despite all these great blessings necessitating that they show gratitude to Allah, the majority of them are not thankful; rather, they are preoccupied in play and (blameworthy) amusement. Indeed, they bring themselves to the lowest level through deeds that degrade one’s manners, thus, Allah will reduce them to the lowest of the low – the lowest part of the hell fire, the place of the disobedient ones and those who turn away from their Lord. The only ones who will be saved from this are those whom Allah has blessed with Iman, righteous action, virtuous and lofty manners.
