Service-oriented humility
0:08
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, would descend from his lofty status, his distinguished position, and his majestic gathering
0:19
To teach profound humility and spread the expansive virtue of modesty
0:25
Or what may be aptly described as service-oriented humility
0:29
Wherein one humbles oneself while offering service, bestowing a favor, and adding a virtuous deed
0:37
Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, said
0:39
A young girl from among the bondswomen of the people of Madinah
0:43
Would take the hand of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him
0:48
And lead him wherever she wished
0:51
Narrated by al-Bukhari
0:53
A man of his status, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him
0:59
How could he empty his time for a woman who was a stranger from the outskirts
1:03
And leave his own affairs
1:05
Were it not that his religion is exactly this
1:08
Humility and mercy
1:10
For Allah is in the aid of the servant
1:13
As long as the servant is in the aid of his brother
1:16
And what could the needs of the bondswomen have been in that time
1:21
Perhaps simple matters
1:24
Yet he responded, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him
1:28
And hastened to go with her out of humility and service
1:32
So where are those who are closed off within themselves
1:37
They have neither served Islam
1:39
Nor spread noble character
1:42
Be humble, like a star that appears to the observer
1:46
Upon the surface of the water, yet it remains high above
1:50
And do not be like smoke, which raises itself
1:54
To the layers of the atmosphere, yet it remains base
1:58
And Allah is the One whose help is sought
