Slavery to God Almighty is the most honorable station of faith, and the greatest of man’s stations with the Most Merciful, the Most Merciful.

Because it means adding the groom to the Lord, the Owner, the Creator, Glory be to Him, but one is honored with the honor of those who are affiliated with Him, or humiliated by the humiliation of those who are affiliated with Him, and there is no honor more honorable than affiliation with God Almighty, who created and equalized, and who destined and guided, and the Holy Qur’an noted this when he attributed slavery to the most honorable. His creatures, and they are his prophets and messengers. }, So it indicates that if there was a station more honorable than the station of servitude, He would have called Him with it in this station, and when He tells the Almighty about those whom He chose for servitude, He tells about their status with Him in closeness and love, and benevolence towards them in what befits His generosity, Glory be to Him, so He says about them:

{ فَبَشِّرْ عِبَادِ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْقَوْلَ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ أَحْسَنَهُ أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ هَدَاهُمُ اللَّهُ وَأُولَئِكَ هُمْ أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ}، ويقول: {قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ}، فنجد أنه سبحانه يتفضل عليهم بما worthy of his generosity;

Because they devoted themselves to servitude to him, so he gave them the status of divinity by making them happy in this worldly life and in the Hereafter.

{Say: O My servants who transgressed against themselves, do not despair of God’s mercy. Indeed, God forgives all sins.

Because they devoted themselves to servitude to him, so he gave them the status of divinity by making them happy in this worldly life and in the Hereafter.

{Say: O My servants who transgressed against themselves, do not despair of God’s mercy. Indeed, God forgives all sins.

Because they devoted themselves to servitude to him, so he sought them from the position of divinity by making them happy in this worldly life and in the Hereafter.

We say this, and it is the tip of the iceberg about this great station, with which we address our worshiper, Glory be to Him, in every standing before Him, saying: {You alone we worship}, so that He may accept our worship of Him, and by worship we do not mean only the prayer that we call upon Him, rather we mean everything that pleases Him in terms of words, deeds, and intentions. ;

Because we are entrusted with that so that we are on his straight path, and that we obtain by that what He has prepared for His faithful servants of what no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no human heart has ever imagined, as it was authenticated in the hadith Qudsi. God Almighty is for His worship, and He created for them a mind with which they can distinguish what achieves for them the principle of servitude or distances them from it, so that the reward is of the same kind as the work.

Some of them knew what God Almighty wanted from him, so he prepared himself to respond to what he wanted, and he achieved the principle of servitude, so God Almighty was his hearing and his sight, so he did not lag behind what was commanded, nor did he advance to what was forbidden, and he did not neglect God’s observation in his conditions and words, and he did not forget to mention him with his tongue and his heavens;

Because he knows that God Almighty is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.

Because he knows that life is short, that destiny belongs to God, that the pleasure of God is the ultimate goal, and that God Almighty does not waste his endeavors, and does not disappoint his purpose.

And another group has forgotten its condition, and has been deceived by its worldliness, so it does not hope for God with reverence, and does not realize that He has an end and a decision. Perhaps he will say: {My Lord, bring me back so that I may do righteousness in what I have left off}, and it is not possible for him to do that.

The slavery with which God Almighty has honored us, we may not realize its great status unless we see who lost it, so he worshiped the soul and passion, and took Satan as a guardian instead of God, and we see his misery in this life, and then we remember God’s grace, and as they said: and the opposite shows his goodness the opposite.

The slavery that God Almighty honored us with, we may not realize its great status unless we see who has lost it.
