In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon you all.
Without even noticing, humans over the centuries have developed strategies and mechanism to gravitate others towards them. Being likeable, as we say in today’s society, really depends on how we present ourselves to others. There are many qualities that contribute to this gravitation that occurs between humans, one of this is humbleness.
Humbleness is the opposite of arrogance, and is an attitude and behavior that Allah and His Messenger Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) have commanded us to have. Through the Holy Quran and through the actions of the Prophet (PBUH) and the Imams, one can certainty conclude that they were the true embodiment of humbleness.
The cordiality and humility of Imam Zainul Abideen (AS) was well known among the residents of Medina. He used to deal with his slaves and maids also in the most cordial and gentle way. His behavior with his slaves was such that strangers failed to recognize which of them were the Master and which one the slave. One day a father-son duo from Khorasan came to meet the Imam. When it was the time for dinner the Imam moved forward to wash the hands of the guest but he said, “O son of the Messenger of Allah (S)! I will not allow this!” The Imam said, “It is my duty. Why do you want me to be deprived of its rewards?” Thus, the Imam did not agree and at last washed his hands. After that he ordered Imam Muhammad Baqir (AS) to wash the son's hands.
Here the Imam (AS) didn’t see himself above anyone just because he was an Imam, on the contrary he saw himself just like everyone else, even to the point where people didn’t even recognize him.
It is not only from the life of Zainul Abideen (AS) that humbleness is portrayed but also through the actions of all the other Imams.
All his life, Imam Musa Kadhim (AS) never spoke with anyone in a harsh and caustic manner. He never hurt the feelings of others. He used to meet every high and low person in a humble way, and he fulfilled the needs of people with utmost sincerity. Pride and arrogance was never seen in his behavior.
In the Holy Quran Allah says “Verily, Allah has revealed to me that you must be humble towards one another, so that no one wrongs another or boasts to another.”
Through this it’s quite evident that humbleness is of great magnitude. It is through humbleness that we get closer to Allah spiritually.
