A verse and its Tafsir.
0:03
Allah the Almighty says:
0:07
"And lower to them the wing of humility."
0:11
Why did Allah the Almighty say:
0:16
"And lower to them the wing of humility"?
0:19
The answer is:
0:20
Humility before people is generally
0:23
a cause for degradation, lowliness, and disgrace.
0:26
However, humility before one's parents
0:29
is a cause for elevation, high status, and prestige.
0:32
Thus, the phrase "wing of humility" was used
0:35
to convey this specific meaning.
0:38
Whoever humbles himself before his parents
0:41
increases in stature and rises,
0:44
just as a bird rises on its wings
0:47
and soars into the sky.
