Principle 72 — Elevation through Humility

English · 1 min read

Elevation through Humility

The Prophet of Islam said that God will exalt those who adopt the way of humility. (Sunan ibn Majah, Hadith No. 4176) It is a law ordained by God. Humility opens the door to progress for man, whereas the way of arrogance leads man to lowliness. Spirituality awakens noble human qualities in those who are humble. They begin to receive divine inspiration, which makes them appreciate nature more fully. They can see things as they are.

original + quoteOriginal text with a quotation or mention inside it

A humble approach awakens the conscience of his opponent. As a result, the latter is compelled to acknowledge his moral greatness.

Humility is just an attitude. Man does not have to spend anything on it. He gains everything without losing. If the attitude of arrogance is false, the attitude of humility is true humanity.
