If any other being does have a right to be praised, it is only through God’s good graces. This too is a mercy of God Almighty that despite His being One and without Partner, as a gift, He has allowed certain others to be a part of His own praiseworthy qualities. As Allah the Exalted states:
قُلۡ اَعُوۡذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ مَلِكِ النَّاسِ اِلٰهِ النَّاسِ مِنۡ شَرِّ الۡوَسۡوَاسِ ۬ۙ الۡخَنَّاسِ الَّذِيۡ يُوَسۡوِسُ فِيۡ صُدُوۡرِ النَّاسِ مِنَ الۡجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ
Say, ‘I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind, the King of mankind, the God of mankind, from the evil of the sneaking whisperer, who whispers into the hearts of men, from among the Jinn and mankind.’
In this blessed chapter, along with that Being who is truly worthy of praise, Allah Almighty has also hinted at those who are worthy of praise in the partial sense. This is so that higher moral qualities may be perfected. As such, three kinds of rights have been alluded to in this chapter.”
The Promised Messiah (as) said: “Seek refuge with Allah, who encompasses every perfect quality, and Who is the Lord and King of mankind, the One Who is truly worthy of worship and sought by all. This chapter is such that although it retains the true essence of God’s Oneness, along with this, it also indicates that one must not fail to fulfil the rights of other human beings either, who are a reflection, as it were, of these titles.
