Serving Everyone
\r\nThere is a vast ground for Muslims' social relations as a minority with non-Muslims. Broadly it is at two levels: (i) Excellent social relations with non-Muslims and (ii) establishing centres for social welfare. Both these steps are inter-dependent. For these are rooted in the mindset produced by Islamic teachings. If this is realized that a Muslim is obliged to serve anyone, without any discrimination, it would motivate us to share the sorrows of the suffering humanity and helping those in need. Muslims would be thus mentally prepared for assisting others in an active manner. It would help eradicate such negative traits such as selfishness, greed, and self-centredness and promote values such as sacrifice, self-abnegation, spending on others, generosity, treating others well, maintaining ties of kinship, love, affection and concern for others. This would prompt them to treat others on a preferential basis.
