The humility of a Muslim

31 October 2025

True humility does not mean showing weakness or lowering one’s dignity. It also does not mean humbling oneself for worldly gain from mankind.

An example of humility is a person who has status, influence, wealth, or seniority, yet does not feel superior to others. Such a person is open to engaging with people, exchanging views, receiving advice, and appreciating the goodness and strengths of others. 

Humility shifts the attitude of “I achieved this success” to the realisation that “Allah granted me this success”. Therefore, whenever we receive blessings or achieve something good, let us recognise it as a gift from Allah and pray for His continued blessings.
