Boy: What is humility? Angel: It is something that you cannot possess but possesses you. It is a tricky subtle affair. Good luck to you mortals! |
161. The Ultra Intangibles
As the Ultra Intangibles,
Humility and faith are possessions
That abandon you the instant
You think you have them.

It is good to have knowledge but better to have Adab (courtly courtesies). We are all trying to get through college and university for that paper qualification. But if we do not score marks for good manners, well... it is really too bad.
But even before that, we need humility as the cornerstone of etiquette and courtesies. In my life I have met some whose humility is already a part of their existence. But God, in His infinite Mercy, has veiled them from their own spiritual station, and when one mentions this, they would inevitably (and sincerely) say, "Me? Humble? Are you kidding me?"
They are blessed. For humility and faith is not their possession, rather that they are possessed by the Guiding Spirit of God, Muhammad Habibullah(pbuh). And they are free of hate, envy and hubris, and they are happy.
Have a lovely Sunday, sunshine.
wa min Allah at-taufiq
Hate has no place in Islam
Love will show the Way
