			said Apollo has
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:16
			respected elders and brothers in the ayah which I recited Allah Allah says, He does not love those
who are proud and elegant. And of course, we have different meanings of pride and different forms of
pride.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:02:18
			So, what am I have written? For example, one aspect and one form of pride is what is known in
Islamic terminology is Pooja conceitedness to have a very great notion of yourself I am very great.
I am someone and normally it is said when a person thinks highly of himself, he falls down from the
rank and esteem of Allah. To add me up next up Cobras imagine a lotta to hodaka nezzer McGill Jetta.
So this one aspect is eligible to have a very high notion of yourself. And nebia Karim saw cillum
has warned us with regard to that quality and pride is not only having a high notion of yourself,
but to regard yourself as better than the next person. And that right only ally is not human beings.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:53
			So Allah tala does not like a person who is proud and arrogant. The opposite of pride is humility,
to be humble. And that is what Allah subhana wa Taala likes. So Allah does not like pride and
arrogance. But Allah subhanho wa Taala loves humility and being humble. And let Elena karamay kaha
hai ki Allah subhanho wa Taala missoura with the company local person a cartel or kapooka
		
00:02:54 --> 00:03:50
			Why is he here or here Allah tala key person de la ciudad. Now what is the meaning of humanity? Many
a times we look at humanity as the opposite of confidence and we take humanity to mean low self
esteem which is not the case. To have a high self esteem and to have confidence is a positive
attribute in many cases. So when we say humility, it doesn't mean low self esteem, or an inferiority
complex. No. The opposite of humility is pride and arrogance, not confidence. And many times we make
that mistake. In English the word humanity comes from the Latin word which means ground. Humanity
means being humble. One is modest. One is modest, respectful, not proud, not arrogant. We need to
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:55
			protect ourselves from regarding our self is superior to others.
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:43
			We need to protect ourselves to regard ourselves as superior to others. That call is Allah subhana
wa Taala is not us, not yours, not mine. Right. And I will go on to make mention with regard to that
my grandpa used to say, in his gatherings a great, great thing. I regard every person in this
gathering better than myself. I don't regard myself as superior to anyone. And we all know that
shaytan and he believes was the first to say I am better than another one. And he told Allah a
pharaoh mean I'm better than human beings. And we know what was his situation. And we know how he
became very far away from Almighty Allah. Our addressee coming

			and a pharaoh Minh who caca or hum sepco moto moto is Kirk Yahshua. Now after understanding this
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:10
			Briefly, what is the meaning of humanity? Let us understand the virtue of humanity. Firstly, you
morality is a quality of the people of
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:31
			humanity is the quality of the people of Jenna. The ba Karim Sallam said one day, Allah O'Hara can
be an agenda. Jana Macedo tell you who are the people of Ghana, Gambia Hakuna Matata agenda t

			the week in the humble
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:48
			and who is the people of jahannam the proud and arrogant. So humility is the quality of the people
of genda. Secondly, humility elevates a person.
		
00:05:49 --> 00:06:42
			humility, accuracy in sample Allah Teradata punctuality humility raises the rank of a person via
Korean salsa midsegment awada de la Rafa Hola, he who humbles himself, he who adopts humility, I was
raised him in rank. But we don't adopt humility that alarm has raised us in brain. We don't even say
I must become humbled that people must regard me as pious humanity, the moment the way it is very
beautifully said. The moment you are conscious of your humanity, it is no more humanity. The moment
you are conscious of your humanity is no more humanity. Humanity comes from your heart. It comes
from your attitude, the moment you think I'm acting humble, you know humble. So you know the moment
		
00:06:42 --> 00:07:02
			you are conscious about your humanity, you are no more humble. So this is the second aspect what
humility, it elevates a person the way the Vietnamese asked him and said it. Thirdly, humility is
the correct garden attitude for you and I who are bondsmen servants of Allah.

			Allah Anita lattepanda kcsa Amalia subsea factory, Madame de
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:42
			la, the correct attitude in golf golf for us as bondsmen of Allah tala is to be humble. It does not
behoove us to be proud and arrogant. nebia Kareem saw slim said in a hadith and Kibriya hora de
whereas moto sorry, Bri is my clock says Allah Allah says pride is my clock. greatness is my
garment.
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:53
			Pride is my greatness is my Garmin greatness pride only suits Allah
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:59
			pride in greatness only what if Allah tala hamanasi

			greatness in price only you and I what is from a NASA and he he who who disputes with me with pride
and greatness who says maybe Papa admin
		
00:08:14 --> 00:09:02
			he says I'm also very great. He is competing with Allah subhanho wa tada compete Allah subhanho wa
Taala what will be his situation? By the way, that is why, even in the most greatest moment of
Namibia, Kareem sallahu alayhi wa sallam ascendancy and natella referred to him as Abdullah. So he
has Surat de agua de Glory to the one who took his app to Mirage didn't say you have a soul because
and be the servant of Allah is one of our greatest accolade. If only we can think about it like
that, this is a reality that you know, today we define ourselves differently the car you drive, the
area you stay in, which resort to you go to for holidays, which hotel to you go to even when you go
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:08
			for O'Meara, that is the things that have become an defines us. So people want to know where you
went to stay with us.
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:29
			So that is something that defines us that what we have made these a false aspects of definition.
What what defines us, we are servants of Allah, who has authority over us who can take our life
anytime and take our possessions anytime.
		
00:09:30 --> 00:10:00
			That's a reality with regard to us. amanatullah Cabinda japchae Amara john Lilly japchae. Mr.
Mandela, that is the reality. And we don't understand this reality because we sometimes get caught
in pride. And we don't adopt humility which is the corrupt cop for us. as servants of Allah subhanho
wa Taala. As a shepherd, he doesn't want as a courier to say he regards himself as worthy. That's a
sign he's no
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:04
			he regards himself as worth he eats aside, he is not worth it.
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:06
			To add me up now,
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:54
			the fourth thing that our alumni have made mentioned with regard to it is humility opens up new
doors for us. Really when a person becomes humble, it explores new new frontiers, new avenues for
him. Now he doesn't have to worry about competition. One of the greatest harms is pretty everyone is
competing with one another that comes because of pride. That becomes because of thinking highly of
yourself. Now, if you take away yourself from that, then you don't have to compete with one another.
Why was I compete because I'm lonely. Why was I compete with anyone? Allah, Allah says, For that was
a coup. de como. Don't praise yourself. Allah knows who inspires once you adopt that attitude. Allah
		
00:10:54 --> 00:11:41
			knows who is pious, Allah knows who is great. Allah knows who is good, inshallah, you won't compete
with one another. We don't compete with one another. One law has really opened up new doors for you.
doors that you know, gives you freedom, freedom from competition that you don't have to worry of. I
must buy the latest model because someone else bought. Take it away. Humanity opens up doors for you
that you can imagine. Another great aspect with regard to humanity. The benefit of humanity is that
it makes you recognize Allah. When the greatness of Allah subhanho wa Taala dawns upon a person and
he realizes the greatness of Allah. Allah is Holic Allah is Bari. Allah is Musa will and nice to her
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:48
			allies, Japan allies Buta Kabir, then he will realize that his pride will melt away, Allah
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:50
			America,
		
00:11:51 --> 00:12:35
			that inshallah he will never be proud. But when a person doesn't recognize the greatness of Allah
subhanho wa Taala, he will be proud. So humility will come about when we have Wu Shahada when we
have the perception of Allah subhanaw taala has greatness in front of us. So this is another aspect
and the more if you don't have and you have pride, that means the most Shahada, the perception of
the greatness of Allah is not coming to you. And humanity is a means of understanding the greatness
of Almighty Allah subhanho wa Taala. And another aspect humanity empowers us to avoid arguments with
an ill mannered and humanity empowers us to stop having arguments with those people who are ill
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:42
			mannered Hmm, addressee Panda, quesadilla, fatsia, bachata and if a person is all the time juggalo
		
00:12:44 --> 00:13:14
			today, this is a reality everyone is sitting and fighting and fighting and we are fighting about
everything. We don't even know what we are fighting about. Half the time we don't know about what we
are fighting about. And this is a reality. Sometimes you look at the chat groups and you look at
Facebook and you see people way on for three days is sitting in fighting in the arguing one gives
this one give that argument this argument and what it is you know, job after job argument after
argument, you know, answer after answer. When we were studying there was a written
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:23
			right means earthquake. So another person wrote another answer for you know, book pretzels, Allah,
Allah there is algebra, you know,
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:42
			earthquake upon an earthquake. Then someone wrote tamata bomb. Someone wrote an answer to that
dhamaka terkemuka was a C. So you know, a reality is this, that humanity empowers you to avoid
arguments where
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:51
			the servants of Allah, they walk on the earth with humility.
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:57
			The servants of Allah don't walk under earth with pride
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:00
			in Atlanta,
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:22
			and Atlanta says don't walk on the earth with pride you can reach the mountaintops who can step over
the earth What are you walking on with pride on the earth with with what are you walking with pride?
You can reach the mountaintops and you can split the earth. Allah has made it strong enough. Okay,
so what are you walking with? A battle rock man, they walk on the earth with humanity
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:50
			and when the ill mannered engaged them in conflict and argument pero Salama the same piece,
humanity, embolden you and empowers you to avoid arguments. Humanity empowers you to make Salaam to
those whom you know, and those who don't know Sahaba came to stasha Sula, au Islami jasola which
Islam is the best, it
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:54
			was Salam Ala Moana.
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:59
			The best Islam is to feed the poor and to make Salam on those who
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			You know and you don't know
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:20
			not only makes Salaam to those who might know who am I pells Amara Giamatti admin Salam karenga ne
ne This is the best of Islam to make Salam on those who will know humanity will make you do and
practice upon this editor for whenever the via cream sauce alum and one of the foundations of
humanity is
		
00:15:21 --> 00:16:10
			that we are elevated in status, whatever status we bought, because of Allah subhanaw taala. What
however we got what happens in our life that Allah tala gives us certain types of traits and
qualities, which make you stand out. So a person perhaps, Allah has given him a good attractiveness,
Allah has made him beautiful, Allah has given him perhaps the good car, Allah has given him perhaps
a good manner of talking to people, Allah has given him a good flat. Now this is the difference
between one who is humble and one who is proud. The proud person will see America as a mirror I did
it. I became such a good businessman because I brought such ideas. I'm a I'm a genius in the
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:10
			business.
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:33
			And another one will say, whatever I did was Allah tala Allah Allah gave me. So you see the
difference between proud pride and humility. A humble person will refer it to Allah proud person who
refer it to everyone else, you will refer it to himself, he will refer it to my genius, my
intelligence etc. This is a difference between pride and humility and courage
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:42
			to make mention with regard to this, what a remarkable thing is to say that a person who has
achievements will be humble.
		
00:16:43 --> 00:17:02
			Whereas a person who is free from qualities, he will be proud and he gave us example, he said, we
see a fruit tree, when it is laden with fruit, then then you will see that the branches are down.
They are humble. That means that three good fruit
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:07
			trees got fruit. If you got quality, and you have got good,
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:22
			you will be humble. And a tree that has got no fruit, the branches are going higher. That means if a
person has got no qualities, he has got no good luck. He will be proud to skip us point A which
isn't here.
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			Or just get past what there was.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:46
			And that is why whenever we look at our greatness and whenever we look at all our people of the
past, they were people of humility, starting from our beloved Livia, Kareem sallallahu, Alayhi,
wasallam and attalla you know, made a proposal to our beloved Maria Karim sassolungo but shut
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:49
			up Dr.
		
00:17:51 --> 00:18:37
			elettra told me Sam, do you want to become a prophet of Kingdom or prophet of servitude and the
resources that I want to become a prophet of servitude. I want to become a prophet of being an
advocate for mighty Allah subhanho wa Taala and there's our beloved maybe aquariums Allahu alayhi wa
sallam, he used to ride, nominal type of conveyances did not die drive the best of conveniences. He
used to visit the poor, milk his own goods, fix his own senders stitches on clothes. Has it Ayesha
was asked, yeah, what did you do at home? What did you do at home, he said he served the family. He
served the family. Today we serve the family, our eldership by law to buy an opening, you know this
		
00:18:37 --> 00:19:19
			awesome lady, but we can do it. Maybe Allah Allahu alayhi wa sallam used to do all these things.
When he says to be humble when you have nothing, sometimes you are forced to be so. But when you
have everything you are conqueror, and then you be humble. Maybe a creme de la silla, Miss entering
into Makkah, and Atlanta had said in La la cultura de la mahad, that the one who took you out of
Macau will bring you back to Mecca. And when it comes to Mecca, the people who used to throw stone
on his path, the people who used to, you know, to his uncle's liver, the people who are the cause of
his daughter's death, always in front of him, he is conquering that place where they forced him to
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:26
			leave. Well, now he might be respected as if perhaps it was people like you and I, we would have had
some form of arrogance.
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:48
			I came back now. Now you will see what I do to you. You took me out last time. Now let me show you
what I can do to you. Not maybe ecorise awesome. Maybe it was Elon was on his camera. He put his
head out of humility upon the camera. And he was saying Alhamdulillah he was please be only to an
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:57
			IRA he is. bondsman didn't do anything under grant him when I sell an umbrella he nesara
		
00:19:59 --> 00:19:59
			awada
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:29
			What has a man bajada He is the one who helped us bondsman. He is the one who grant me victory over
the enemy, the enemies. He is the one who brought about this type of victory, humanity. When Yusuf
alayhi salatu salam saw the, the interpretation of his dream which is saw some 40 years back, when
he saw the sun in the moon and the stars making sit down in front of him. That dream led him to such
great amount of trials, when he saw the interpretation of the dream coming in front of him.
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:51
			And Nirvana, for the Muslim world. In our law, you are the creator of the heavens and earth. You
made all of this thing come through, not me. This is the humanity of people. This is the humanity of
our beloved Nadia krimson Allahu alayhi wa sallam. This was the humanity of people like us and Abu
Bakr radi, Allahu
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:58
			Allah, that person about whom the via consortium said no con, mucho de la,
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:40
			la La, if I would have made a person a special friend besides Allah, I would have made a move after
Abu Bakar Ron who becomes a halifa What does he tell people? I don't have any superiority over you.
If I've done anything wrong. If you correct me, that will be my greatest honor. A person goes humara
the lottery is used to try and compete in good deeds with one another. So there was an elderly woman
who was outside Madina munawwara. So Maroney allowed them to use to try and help her because she was
physically challenged currency properly. She was very weak, she couldn't look after her needs. Every
time. Omar goes there. Before he goes, there he goes. In the early hours of the morning, the house
		
00:21:40 --> 00:22:24
			is clean. The water is there, her needs have been taken care of. Omar is amazed. One day he comes
very early to see who it is. What does he see me remove me coming to help this old particular woman
in the early hours of the morning. This was the humanity that the people had as a woman, himself. So
Pamela, one day he was sitting on a member ameerul momineen Omar, who had such great, such great
authority, that he controlled the known world at that time. So barnala anyone who took the name of
Omar, they used to be afraid, even shaytan used to be afraid of Allah Subhana Allah at that
particular time and he is talking one day and giving a lecture. A woman corrects Omar and said,
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:38
			Omar, you said such and such a thing. The Quran says something that is against what you had said. He
couldn't get angry. He got off from the member saying Lunas Allah, Mohammed Omar Abdullah is
everyone knows more than Omar even an older woman knows.
		
00:22:39 --> 00:23:20
			On his deathbed, that Omar about homophobia Kareem Sallam said, Omar you take you take a path
shaytan takes another path that Omar said if he was to be and maybe after we would have been Omar,
he put his lap at that time was on the side and the legs of his son Abdullah Muhammad. He said oh
akula oh my oh my son, put my put my face down on the on the ground. That time we didn't have
carpets. It was an ordinary ground. Omar rubbed his face on the ground and said, Omar you will be
destroyed. He learned a lot filmmaker a book
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:31
			that Omar about whom Allah has spoken so great. That was a self regard to Omar. This was the
humanity of know someone asked as a Muslim who hasn't done
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:47
			that many people. Many people have written savani they have written the life story. Why don't you
also write your life story? So voila, what a remarkable answer he gives. He said my life story has
been written. It is been written by one kid in nicaea.
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:57
			They are writing like, ramen katomina sorry, ramen, Catalina writing my life story. This is a
reality. I don't need to write no life story.
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:25
			This is a way one of our great scholars. As Mara Chemin de guerra. hokulani. One day, he was sitting
in outside they were doing it was very hot. So you know, they were doing the outside. They were
doing the studies outside. And all of a sudden rain King, everyone start taking, you know, the books
and the desk upon which the books was everyone ran indoors. This pasta, what did he do? He picked up
the shoes of all the students and he took it inside.
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:57
			He took up pick up the shoes and took it inside. It didn't in any way take away from the ranking
status. Allow me to be one great month awada Allah, Allah, respected elders and brothers, this is
what I'm saying. This is what we have made mentioned. Humility is a very, very great attribute in
very short supply today. Let us inculcate it. Because that is the way to Jenna is a proper God,
attitude for us as servants of Allah. And it has many, many benefits. Who are shoulder one, an
umbrella
