I saw an ant on the table while making coffee just now. I thought about how ants have colonys - they belong to a community, like us.
They are like humans.. but not exactly like humans.
What differentiates us people, from animals, is our ability to reason and be governed by rules of responsibility, morality, ethics, which is included in God's rules for the human beings.
As such, when people choose not to reason, and do as they will, without consideration for responsibility, morality and ethics, they are at the level of animals. When they also choose to turn away from God's rules, then, they are even lower than animals, because animals (and all other created things) follow God's decree, and they sing praises for Allah, in their own way.
And unto Allah maketh prostration whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth of living creatures, and the angels (also) and they are not proud.
They fear their Lord above them, and do what they are bidden to do
Al Quran, An Nahl 16:49-50
Where are we?
