Muslim should you humble yourself unconditionally? Another answers

So you should show unconditional humbleness to other Muslims.
Yes. Okay.
need two more answers in sha Allah, or do you guys think yes.
Brilliant answer. He said unconditional humbleness.
Sometimes it's been shown as weakness. And the Prophet
sallallahu sallam said I'll Muslim will kawaii Hiren What a horrible
Allah muslim life the strong Muslim is much higher in status in
the eyes of Allah subhanaw taala over the weak Muslim brilliant
answer. I need one more answer insha Allah Bismillah
you're asking me question I'm asking you the question
the answer my question and then I will get your question at the end.
Yes.
Yes.
Okay.
Great, Allah subhanaw taala says the I'm Shuna out of the house,
which means that we the Muslim one of the qualities, one of the
traits of the Muslim is that he walks on this earth and he has to
show this idea of humbleness which is perfect, as long as that
humbleness is not taken, you know, as a weakness. Brilliant answer.
Yes.
You should never show humbleness against the oppressors. Amazing
answer, Mashallah. Let's see what the Prophet SAW Allah said, and
how did the Prophet sallallahu wasallam actually, you know, teach
the Sahaba his companions Radi Allahu Anhu Huadong.
First and foremost, the Prophet sallahu wa sallam was actually in
the McKeehan period, he went through series of humilation
himself, and the Companions around him. So in Mecca, the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was tortured, and his Sahaba was
tortured. And the Prophet sallallahu Sallam as he was
putting in front of the Kaaba, he was actually being humiliated,
they threw this flesh and on top of his back, and he insulted him,
they put the garbage in front of his door. So these were series of
humiliation.
But at that moment, the Prophet salallahu Salam never showed any
sign of weakness, never showed any sign of humbleness. In fact, he
was standing up for himself, he never put him put his head down.
Even when he went to a thought, when he went to a thought if the
torture continued, and even the sent the children to stone, the
prophets, Allah Azza his feet until he bleeds, while he was
humiliated this way, his head was very high, was up in the sky. He
never put his head down. But he actually was humbled to who to
Allah subhanaw taala. He actually, you know, he had that moment where
he started to complain to Allah subhanaw taala he showed Allah
subhanaw taala his work his weakness, he actually said Yeah,
Allah in the ash goo Elijah, Botha he Letty wobba ko what year Allah
I can play to you, my power less. I don't know what to do at this
moment. He shone accumulation and humbleness towards Allah subhanho
wa taala. And then, in another incident
After the Battle of offered, as the muslimeen, were going back to
El Medina, and they were they lost the battle. And they were putting
their heads down. And Allah subhanaw taala has revealed and if
Allah says in this area will attack him, while at one tomb
alone, it's like in this moment, there is no such thing as actually
showing any form of humbleness. This is the moment where you show
your as your dignity, why because that was actually a weak moment
that the Sahaba went through, they just got you know that that loss
in the battle or hurt, if you would to show humbleness at this
moment, then you're actually weak. So what the Prophet sallallahu
Sallam is teaching us here is what is yes, humbleness and tolerance
are traits of every single Muslim. First and foremost, we all are
humbled towards Allah subhanaw taala Mantova Aileen les Rafa,
whoever humble himself or herself towards Allah, Allah who raises
that person in the status. So first and foremost, we humble
ourselves towards Allah subhanaw taala. But what about the people
here is the more he is the point. When we are in the state of power
less and showing gates and showing humbleness, then that's form of
weakness, then people will walk over you will actually take
advantage of you. But as a Muslim, as a Muslim, can you soon fatten.
The Muslim should be strong and the Muslim should be smart. I will
show humbleness once they have the upper hand. Once I am actually in
a state of power, once I'm actually able to decide and to
make decisions for my own people and from my own self, then yes, I
show humbleness, humbleness with power, then it says its dignity.
Now I'm a Muslim.
Unfortunately, sometimes we we educate our children in a
different manner and Wallahi it's hurting their their self esteem.
It's hurting their confidence. We need our children to be
unapologetic Muslims. We don't want our children to walk in the
camps and feel lower than anybody else. We want our our youth to go
out there and be proud of the faith that they're carrying. Allah
subhanaw taala said well, Corona that the Adam Allah has dignified
the Muslims that human beings the fact that we are carrying quantum
higher on mutton egregious leanness, you are you are supposed
to be the best of the best of the woman of the nation's why because
we are carrying something so precious. We are carrying the
words of Allah subhanaw taala that should be that should be really
nailed within our children's hearts since very young age. My
advice Subhanallah we're just having a talk yesterday. And one
of our youth events and, and just it's very sad to see how sometimes
our youth are beating up themselves, they're putting
themselves down. They're putting themselves down. It's one of the
issues, you know, working with youth for the past, I would say
decade. This is one of the top issues that I've experienced with
our youth. The idea of always putting ourselves down always even
sometimes as an ummah, sometimes as an OMA putting ourselves down,
putting ourselves down, playing sometimes this, you know, playing
the victim sometimes, you know, sometimes just oh, we're just you
know, everybody's against us, you know, this idea of listening to
these l thoughts. That brings us down. Allah subhanaw taala. Again,
he said, Yeah, yeah, you have nests. Yeah, all believers, every
single believer have pride in your deen, that Marula will Maru forth
and how now, these are qualities that you have to have. And if you
have these qualities, then you're you're actually raised that high
in status. So yes, we will never apologize for others just for
being Muslims. We will never be shy putting our feet in the sink
to make will do in the in a mall, or in a campus bathroom just
because we're Muslims, and we should never even show any form of
humiliation.
And we shy away from our faith, we should never do this. So that's a
message for for myself and for for even my children. And for everyone
who will be the light I'll teach our children at very young age
that you are very special because you're carrying the words of Allah
subhanaw taala nothing, nothing else. The fact that you're a
Muslim, you're carrying the result of Allah subhanaw taala
It actually makes you somebody who is dignified in the eyes of Allah
subhanaw taala May Allah subhanaw taala make us so strong as strong
many strong believers strong youth strong families, strong community
strong Omega bulalo mean desert Kamala Kodama Salam aleikum wa
