Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Islamic Morals Whose Humility Is Better? Humility and courtesy is good and desirable. Bu it is better if forthcoming from those who have an apparent or hidden spiritual personality. Hence it is reported from Amirul Mo-mineen (a.s.): How good is he who, due to overestimation of his own defects, overlooks the shortcomings of others and thus shows humility despite having no faults.

It is also recorded from Amirul Mo-mineen (a.s.) Decoration of a great person is his humility. Again Ali (a.s.) said: How nice is the courtesy of the rich towards the poor for the pleasure of Allah and better than that is the pride of the poor over the wealthy for reliance on the lord of the universe.

Today one of the serious responsibilities and duties of the state officers is that they should know that the power and status which is now for them is the blood money of the millions of the best youths of this nation who have been martyred and it is a blessing of thousands who lost their body organs and who gave up worldly and material benefits for this Islamic revolution. Now it does not befit us to be arrogant or haughty while dealing with this martyr-producing nation.

Rather it is necessary that we deal with them with humility and courtesy so that our revolution can be resorted to the entire world just as our Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) and the pious Imam (a.s.) invited people practically toward spirituality. Humility is desirable from on the part of the wealthy. If a beggar shows humility, it is his habit. Anyway, humility on the part of the higher ups is desirable.

However, unfortunately, some of the people lose themselves in such a way that they do not distinguish between the head and the foot. May God protect us from the evil of desire and greed. Verses and traditions Praising Courtesy The Almighty commands His Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.): And be kind to him who follows you of the believers. At the time of his departing Ali (a.s.) said in his will: Maintain courtesy because courtesy is the biggest worship.

Imam Sadiq (a.s.) has said: In what the lord revealed to Dawood (a.s.) was that: O Dawood! As those nearest to me are the courteous so the farthest from Me are the haughty and proud. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said: The one who shows humility for the sake of Allah, Allah makes him great. Imam Sadiq (a.s.) has reportedly said: Luqman so admonished his son My dear son! Be courteous for the sake of truth so that you may become the most wise.
