Are we humble enough...

[Yanal]

:salamext: to all muslims and good day to the non-muslims...

Just another episode of getting to know each other.

Do you think we are humble enough?

What is your definition of being humble?

What do you think of humble people? Do you think they are weak?

In Islam...pride is no no...in whatever you do.

We are not always humble but inshAllah should try.

Humble means looking at yourself honestly.

Humble people are excellent examples to become. But our Prophets were the most humble.

 

[Pygoscelis]

I find it interesting that people can be so humble as to believe themselves worthy of eternal torture simply for existing and needing to be "saved" from this, and yet be so prideful and self-centred as to believe that the creator of the universe holds them as his most important concern.

 

[جوري]

eternal torture is yours only if you deserve it (and you are not best vested to decide, in fact the jury doesn't lie with any human for that matter).. and no, we might not at all be God's most important creation.. we certainly weren't the first, and there is nothing to prove that we are the best!

76:1) HAS THERE [not] been an endless span of time 1 before man [appeared - a time] when he was not yet a thing to be thought of? 2

them as his most important concern.

erm... i don't think so. There are other creations too but we don't know the matter between other creations and Allah swt. It is beyond our knowledge.

 

[- IqRa -]

Humans in general are very boastful. That is not their fault, it is in their nature.

 

[Ansariyah]

Being humble to me means being tolerable, being patient, over looking imperfections.

 

[Danah]

First, I think there are two types of Humility: one toward Allah, and the other toward people

* Toward people:
I think that being humble is knowing your weak points first before bragging about the others weakness, in other words "knowing yourself" because there is no one perfect. Its also know that you are not perfect because the perfection is only for your creator

I am totally agree with this:

i think a person who thinks he is humble enough obviously is not.

* Toward Allah:
Actually according the hadeeth of the prophet Mohammed Peace Be Upon Him...he said that Allah is raising whoever humble to him

Humility is very necessary in our prayers as muslims as well and its the fully submission and humility to Allah

"Indeed the Believers are successful, those who are humble in their Prayer."
[Sooratul-Mu'minoon 23:1-2]

the prophet of Allah said:
Indeed the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) used to seek refuge in
Allaah from the heart that is not humble, as is found in Saheeh Muslim: From
Zayd Ibn Arqam, that the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) used to say,
"O Allaah, verily I seek refuge in You from knowledge that does not benefit,
and from the heart that is not humble, and from the soul that is not content,
and from the supplication that is not answered."

Humble means looking at yourself honestly.

Despite all of the flowery words and quotes others offered, Yanal, I think you offered the best description of what it means to be humble. Thanks!!

If I will only do this, it will require that I am humble.
