Also know, what did Abou Ben Adhem see when woke from a deep sleep one night?
One night when Adhem was awakened from a deep dream of peace, he saw that his room was filled with moonlight making it appear rich and bright like a lily in bloom. He also saw an angel writing something in a book of gold. The angel said he was writing the names of people who loved the Lord.
Similarly, why was Abou's name not in the book of gold? The angel was making a list of those who loved God. But Abou Ben Adhem was not a man popularly known for the love of God, but for his love for the fellow human beings. That is why his name did not feature in the angel's book of gold. Not necessarily do you have to love God in order to love your fellow men.
