Service to people and good behaviour towards them constitute the subject of moral sciences. All schools of moral sciences have emphasised these in their teachings. Likewise, all religions of the world have accepted their importance. Their sacred writings and the revealed books have testified to this.
SERVICE TO MANKIND AND THE TEACHINGS OF THE PROPHETS
In the Holy Qur'an there are many references to the Prophets who preceded the last Prophet (Peace be upon him) and their teachings. Among them Abraham and the Prophets of his Israelite genealogy are mentioned in considerable detail. From this we find that the Prophets of Allah have extracted a covenant from the people of Israel to the effect that they would recognise the rights of the people and serve them with kind treatment. This covenant is presented in these words:
And remember we took a Covenant from children of Israel (to this effect): Worship none but Allah, treat with kindness your parents and kindred, and orphans and those in need; speak fair to the people; be steadfast in prayers; practise regular charity. Then did you turn back, except a few among you and ye backslide (ever now). And remember We took your covenant (to this effect): Shed no blood amongst you, nor turn out your people from your homes, and this ye solemnly ratified, and to this ye can bear witness. Al Baqarah:83-84
This Ayath explains that the Covenant was to worship the one Allah and behave towards the people in their best way. The second Covenant was that their hands should be free from the excesses. Cruelty and good conduct could not go together. Passions shape the character. History of nations is closely associated with the ethos of service found among the people. Villainy and vice have played havoc with the nations, and they could never rise again. The Holy Qur'an says the Bani lsrail did not honour this covenant. They killed the people of their own community; expelled many from their homes, and for this purpose, they entered into a pact with their enemies and helped them in their evil design. It ruined their unity and dissipated their strength. They had to carry the mark of dishonour in this world, and severe punishment is awaiting them in the Hereafter. (Al-Baqarah:75)
