How are people valued in Islam?
God-wariness and piety are the most important criteria for valuing human beings; and the infallible Imams (as) have considered God-wariness as their best excellence.
A man said to Imam al-Rida (as), "There is no one nobler than you in terms of your father on the face of the earth."
Imam al-Rida (as) said, "God-wariness was the best excellence of my forefathers and obedience to Allah was their best enjoyment."
Another person said to the Imam (as), "By Allah, you are the best of the people." The Imam told that man, "Do not swear! Better than me is the one whose God-wariness is more and his obedience to Allah is greater. The Qur'an says, 'and made you nations and tribes that you may identify yourselves with one another. Indeed the noblest of you in the sight of Allah is the most God-wary among you.'"
