A BELIEVER HAS AN EXCEPTIONAL DIGNITY BESTOWED UPON HIM BY ALLAH (S.T.)

There is no doubt that a believer irrespective of his colour, caste or status is better than a disbeliever or a sinful person. Allah (s.w.t.) says : "Is he then who is a believer like him who is a transgressor? They at not equal."(Sajdah/18) In another place the Almighty Allah says : "And do not marry the idolatrous until they believe, and certainly a believing maid is better than an idolatous woman even though she may allure you." (Al-Baqarah/221) So one cannot compare a believer with any disbeliever or even with a transgressor. A believer has an exceptional dignity bestowed upon him by Allah (s.w.t.). He achieved this dignity because of his belief in Allah (s.w.t.) and therefore showing humbleness and humility to a disbeliever is belittling Imaan (Belief) before Kufr (Disbelief) thus disgracing the Imaan.
