2
00:00:05,110 --> 00:00:08,210
Service-oriented humility

3
00:00:08,210 --> 00:00:19,989
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, would descend from his lofty status, his distinguished position, and his majestic gathering

4
00:00:19,989 --> 00:00:25,989
To teach profound humility and spread the expansive virtue of modesty

5
00:00:25,989 --> 00:00:29,989
Or what may be aptly described as service-oriented humility

6
00:00:29,989 --> 00:00:37,380
Wherein one humbles oneself while offering service, bestowing a favor, and adding a virtuous deed

7
00:00:37,380 --> 00:00:39,380
Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, said

8
00:00:39,380 --> 00:00:43,500
A young girl from among the bondswomen of the people of Madinah

9
00:00:43,500 --> 00:00:48,500
Would take the hand of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him

10
00:00:48,500 --> 00:00:51,500
And lead him wherever she wished

11
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:53,570
Narrated by al-Bukhari

12
00:00:53,570 --> 00:00:59,109
A man of his status, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him

13
00:00:59,109 --> 00:01:03,109
How could he empty his time for a woman who was a stranger from the outskirts

14
00:01:03,109 --> 00:01:05,109
And leave his own affairs

15
00:01:05,109 --> 00:01:08,109
Were it not that his religion is exactly this

16
00:01:08,109 --> 00:01:10,239
Humility and mercy

17
00:01:10,239 --> 00:01:13,239
For Allah is in the aid of the servant

18
00:01:13,239 --> 00:01:16,239
As long as the servant is in the aid of his brother

19
00:01:16,239 --> 00:01:21,780
And what could the needs of the bondswomen have been in that time

20
00:01:21,780 --> 00:01:24,780
Perhaps simple matters

21
00:01:24,780 --> 00:01:28,780
Yet he responded, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him

22
00:01:28,780 --> 00:01:32,780
And hastened to go with her out of humility and service

23
00:01:32,780 --> 00:01:37,040
So where are those who are closed off within themselves

24
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,040
They have neither served Islam

25
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,040
Nor spread noble character

26
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,359
Be humble, like a star that appears to the observer

27
00:01:46,359 --> 00:01:50,359
Upon the surface of the water, yet it remains high above

28
00:01:50,359 --> 00:01:54,489
And do not be like smoke, which raises itself

29
00:01:54,489 --> 00:01:58,489
To the layers of the atmosphere, yet it remains base

30
00:01:58,489 --> 00:02:01,620
And Allah is the One whose help is sought
