Poem: What It Means To Be Humble


💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 To be humble is to recall that we're Allah's slaves,
To serve Allah, knowing we'll be asked on Judgment Day
About our actions, if we did them just for His sake,
And whether we helped people or watch them go astray.
~*~
Being humble doesn't mean acting invisible,
Behaving like a weak person who can't be helpful.
The more you learn about Islam, the more you're able
To assist others and invite them to Allah's Call.
~*~
When you're humble, you're capable of saying sorry,
Fine marrying one from another race or country,
Okay with forgiving, accepting polygyny,
Congratulating friends for their joys without envy.
~*~
Only if you're humble can you eat with your right hand,
Still supporting the Sunnah at classy restaurants.
When humble, you can exchange salaams, and understand
It's better to ditch debates that weaken faith/Imaan.
~*~
An arrogant adult can't be nice towards children,
They're far too important to be playful and listen.
Humble adults on the other hand can be patient,
Caring for their kids and others' without complaining.
~*~
While the arrogant always expect to be admired,
Proud of their status, riches and expensive attire,
Those with humbleness and true inner beauty inside
Don't care about luxury nor about being liked.
~*~
People who practice humility don't criticize
Others for their looks, their house, and kind of things they buy.
They have Sabr, and care enough to give/take advice,
As they remind people to join them to Paradise.

📖 Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said: "No one who has the weight of a seed of arrogance in his heart will enter Paradise." Someone said, “Indeed, a man loves to have beautiful clothes and shoes.” So the Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said: "Verily, Allah is Beautiful and He loves beauty. Arrogance means rejecting the truth and looking down on people."
