Humility~

"Before thee We sent messengers to many nations, and We afflicted the nations with suffering and adversity, that they call Allah in humility. When the suffering reached them from Us, why then did they not call Allah in humility? On the contrary, their hearts became hardened, and Satan made their sinful acts seem alluring to them. (Al-Anaam 6:42-43)



Successful indeed are the believers, those who humble themselves in their prayers... (Al-Muminoon 23:1-2)



Aisha (May Allah swt be pleased with her) was asked, 'What did the Prophet (PBUH) use to do when he was in the privacy of his home'? She replied, 'He use to be in the service of his family'. He used to repair his sandals and sew/patch his own thobe and he would milk the sheep. Bukhari



He also said, "Verily Allah loves the servant who has Taqwah, and he's rich (content), and he's hidden (i.e. not known by the people because of his humility)". Muslim



The Prophet (PBUH ) said: "Whoever possesses an atom's weight of 'kibr' will not enter into the paradise ". Muslim
