00:00:00.110 --> 00:00:05.110
Among the beauties of the Prophetic biography (Seerah)

00:00:05.110 --> 00:00:08.210
Service-oriented humility

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

00:00:19.989 --> 00:00:25.989
To teach profound humility and spread the expansive virtue of modesty

00:00:25.989 --> 00:00:29.989
Or what may be aptly described as service-oriented humility

00:00:29.989 --> 00:00:37.380
Wherein one humbles oneself while offering service, bestowing a favor, and adding a virtuous deed

00:00:37.380 --> 00:00:39.380
Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, said

00:00:39.380 --> 00:00:43.500
A young girl from among the bondswomen of the people of Madinah

00:00:43.500 --> 00:00:48.500
Would take the hand of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him

00:00:48.500 --> 00:00:51.500
And lead him wherever she wished

00:00:51.500 --> 00:00:53.570
Narrated by al-Bukhari

00:00:53.570 --> 00:00:59.109
A man of his status, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him

00:00:59.109 --> 00:01:03.109
How could he empty his time for a woman who was a stranger from the outskirts

00:01:03.109 --> 00:01:05.109
And leave his own affairs

00:01:05.109 --> 00:01:08.109
Were it not that his religion is exactly this

00:01:08.109 --> 00:01:10.239
Humility and mercy

00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:13.239
For Allah is in the aid of the servant

00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:16.239
As long as the servant is in the aid of his brother

00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:21.780
And what could the needs of the bondswomen have been in that time

00:01:21.780 --> 00:01:24.780
Perhaps simple matters

00:01:24.780 --> 00:01:28.780
Yet he responded, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him

00:01:28.780 --> 00:01:32.780
And hastened to go with her out of humility and service

00:01:32.780 --> 00:01:37.040
So where are those who are closed off within themselves

00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:39.040
They have neither served Islam

00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:42.040
Nor spread noble character

00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:46.359
Be humble, like a star that appears to the observer

00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:50.359
Upon the surface of the water, yet it remains high above

00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:54.489
And do not be like smoke, which raises itself

00:01:54.489 --> 00:01:58.489
To the layers of the atmosphere, yet it remains base

00:01:58.489 --> 00:02:01.620
And Allah is the One whose help is sought
