In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Imam Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya (Allah have mercy on him) said,
“Those who desire are three types:
- Those who desire Allah,
- Those who desire what Allah has,
- And those who desire other then Allah.
The essence of knowledge is to know what obedience and worship are. Know that obedience and worship are conformity to the Lawgiver as regards commands and prohibitions, in both word and deed. [Imam Ghazali]
One of our predecessors said, ‘By God! A servant, if truthful to God, will always love to pass unnoticed.’ Another has said, ‘I have never known a man to wish to become known but that his religion quit him and he became exposed.‘
The Humility of Rasulullah (s.a.w)
Al-Kumushkhanawi:
“Know that humility (tawadu`) is among the greatest, most beautiful and most noble of praiseworthy traits. By humility the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) was made superior to the first and last (of creation), for he was (Allah bless him and give him peace) the most humble of people. He was given the choice between being a king-prophet or a slave-prophet, and chose the latter… From his humility was that he used to ride a donkey, let others ride with him, he used to visit the poor, milk his own goats, raise his garments [for long garments were considered a sign of arrogance], fix his own sandals, serve himself, feed his animals, tidy his house, tie his donkey, eat with servants and workers, and carry his own provision from the market.”
(Jami` al-Usul fi al-Awliya, 31)
"The Muslim is a unique Ummah among the whole of mankind:
Their Land is ONE, their War is ONE, their Peace is ONE,
Their Honour is ONE and their Trust is ONE."
[Ahmad]
