Humility

Habib Umar on Humility (Awaarif al-Ma-aarif)

"The heart is the place where humility for Allah resides, the heart is the source of humility for Allah, the heart is the place of humility for Allah, the heart is the container of humility for Allah. The heart is th treasury of humility for Allah, and if the light of humility settles in this heart, then secrets will spread from it to other hearts and the signs of the heart will become manifest in it sspeech and its interaction(his speech and interaction) with those who are close to him and (also) with those who are distant from him, and in every affair of his; in his secrets and in all that is apparent of him, and because of this he will be sincerely devoted and attached with all honesty in seeking elevation and an increase in his proximity and felicity and he will ramin like this until the unseen realm will become to him as it it is seen.

So whoever does not have humility will not find actions that will be a means to reach Allah and His acceptance."
