24. Humbleness & Boasting

Humbleness                                                      24

Whoever humbles himself for God is elevated by Him. He is small to himself but great in the eyes of people.

--Tradition by Baihaqi. Narrator: Omar. (Excerpt)

Boasting                                                           24

God will degrade the boastful. He will then be great to himself but low in the eyes of men, till he will become more heinous to them than a dog or a pig.

--Tradition by Baihaqi. Narrator: Omar. (Excerpt)
