Give awards no problem cos human need appreciation if somebody make good.. its human nature...
But Dont make him God please ... he makes error & he feels hungry & he has family & he gets angry & he is like us human & he was born & he will die one day, he is not permanent just like previous people on earth,
All praise is to ALLAH who is free from all the above needs of human.. Lets pray to God not human...
Worship the creator & not creation... If U ask, Ask the one who put soul to U and pejawar...Recognise this differnce of God & creation... U will be successful.
