Summary

In Part 2 of our Ramaḍān Series on 'The Manners of the Believer', I discuss the defining characteristic of the worshippers of Allah: humility. Allah says in the Quran: "The true servants of the Most Compassionate are those who walk on the earth humbly..." [Furqān: 63]. And we are told that a person who has even an atom's weight of arrogance in his heart shall never enter Paradise. A sign of humility is to recognize the truth and submit to it - and this can be tested with one's own ego. If you know you have done a wrong to someone or committed a mistake, yet you still find it difficult to ask him for forgiveness or admit your mistake, this is a clear sign that humility is lacking. A Divine gift that is bestowed to those who are truly humble is that of acceptance and respect: if a person genuinely has humility in his heart, Allah blesses that person's reputation and he actually becomes beloved to the people. It is as our Prophet (SAW) said: "Whoever humbles himself for Allah shall be raised up by Allah" [Aḥmad].

1:36.2	of Eman is humility. You cannot have Eman if you have arrogance. You cannot have Eman
1:44.4	if you have an atom's weight of arrogance in your heart. So today we will summarize what
1:50.0	is humility and what is the essence of humility and how we can achieve humility and what
1:55.8	are some of the signs of humility. Realize your brothers and sisters that the Arabic
2:00.8	term for humility is Tawaldoor and as with all Arabic concepts the word itself has a linguistic
2:07.4	profundity. Tawaldoa means from Waldoa to lower yourself. When you say Waldoa in Arabic it
2:14.7	means you put it down. Waldoa to Shay'a put it down. Tawaldoor you are putting yourself
2:20.5	down constantly. Tawaldoor you are conquering your own ego. That's the very linguistic
2:26.7	meaning of Tawaldoor. And our Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was commanded by Allah
2:31.8	in the Qur'an. Lower your wings in front of the believers. It's a metaphor. Show humility.
2:40.2	If even our Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is being told to lower his wings than
2:47.2	how about us. And Allah has inspired the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam as he says
2:52.3	in the authentic Hadith. Allah inspired me to tell all of you. This is a special Hadith.
2:57.5	Allah inspired me to tell all of you to be humble to one another. And Tawaldoor everyone
3:05.0	should be humble in front of others. Why? The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said so
3:08.8	that nobody feels kibir against the other. Nobody is arrogant against the other. So how
3:14.6	then do we know whether we have humility or not? Our scholars mentioned certain signs of
3:20.4	humility. We should monitor and see if we have these signs. Of the signs of humility is
