We have properly basic beliefs that we are of value. I value of my nephew. But it seems if we were objective totaly, we would love everyone as much as we love ourselves. But we don't. We value ourselves more, simply, because we want to. If we get a family, kids, wife, etc, we will value them as well. We value our parents more then other parents. Purely objectively, why we should value our own existence, more then others?
Think about sports. What drives competition. Is a battle between people. They both want to win. And they feel sad when they lose.
Yes, we subjectively value different people, and it means something to us. We value our kids more then other kids. Etc...
All of is unjustified from analytical reasoning perspective. But belief in a eternal source makes you trust your instinct.
The Quran begins with the making you attribute all praise to God. That gives you a foundational belief of praise. Then you acknowledge are going to objectively judged. That makes you belief if you an objective value based on the praise or condemnable actions you go through. Then it asks for guidance. This gives hope that you will be guided in direction in the right way.
The next Surah states in the Quran there is no doubt a guidance. This how Quran begins. It appeals to the basic human hopes of direction and of believe in objective value.
But while you care about yourself, others are apathetic towards you. Children in Africa are ignored in favor of pleasures and enjoyment of the selfs rather then self-sacrifice.
In words of a famous song "they say love is the answer, but look how they cheat us".
