TRUE HUMBLENESS ASKS THAT WE REMEMBER GOOD CONSTANTLY.....

Feb 15, '13 11:22 AM for everyone

Humility comes from recognizing the Might of God and that all might belongs to Him, His Greatness, and being in awe of His Majesty. The lives of Ahlul Bayt (peace be upon them) exemplified humility and an awareness and consciousness of God. They associated with the poor and destitute and worshiped God devotedly and steadfastly through times of peril and blessings. 

Imam Ali ar-Ridha (peace be upon him) worshiped God so intensely that those around him were naturally curious as to the cause. A companion asked the Imam, "O son of the Messenger of Allah! I fear that you may perish due to excess worship." Imam ar-Ridha replied, "Such a death is everlasting success." The Caliph Ma'mun said, "What sins have you committed that you pray day and night for their forgiveness?" Imam replied, "Not for the forgiveness of sins, it is for the thankfulness of His bounties. It is the demand of my servitude." (Akhlaq al-Aimma)

True humbleness asks that we remember God constantly, thank Him for His countless blessings that He has conferred upon us, use our talents and abilities in the path of God, and consider ourselves superior to no one. Indeed, "Successful indeed are the believers who humble themselves in their prayers." (Qur'an 23:02)
