Types of Servitude to Allah
Dear scholars, As-salamu `alaykum. I read some verses that seem to indicate that the slaves of the Most Merciful are only the believers, such as this verse: (And the (faithful) slaves of the Most Gracious (Allah) are those who walk on the earth in humility and sedateness) (Al-Furqan 25: 63). But some other verses indicate that all people are the slaves of Allah, such as the following: (There is none in the heavens and the earth but comes unto the Most Gracious (Allah) as a slave) (Maryam 19: 93). How can we reconcile between these verses? Jazakum Allah khayran.
