Ud'oo Rabbakum tadarru'anw wa khufyah; innahoo laa yuhibbul
mu'tadeen
Call upon your Lord in humility and privately; indeed, He does
not like transgressors.
Qur'an verses on humility
ٱدۡعُواْ رَبَّكُمۡ تَضَرُّعٗا وَخُفۡيَةًۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ
ٱلۡمُعۡتَدِينَ
وَٱذۡكُر رَّبَّكَ فِي نَفۡسِكَ تَضَرُّعٗا وَخِيفَةٗ وَدُونَ ٱلۡجَهۡرِ مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡلِ بِٱلۡغُدُوِّ وَٱلۡأٓصَالِ وَلَا تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلۡغَٰفِلِينَ
Wazkur Rabbaka fee nafsika tadarru'anw wa kheefatanw wa
doonal jahri minal qawli bilghuduwwi wal aasali wa laa takum minal ghaafileen
And remember your Lord within yourself in humility and in fear
without being apparent in speech - in the mornings and the evenings. And do not be among the
heedless.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَٰتِ
وَأَخۡبَتُوٓاْ
إِلَىٰ
رَبِّهِمۡ
أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡجَنَّةِۖ هُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ
Innal lazeena aamanoo wa 'amilus saalihaati wa akhbatooo
ilaa Rabbihim ulaaa'ika Ashaabul Jannati hum feehaa khaalidoon
Indeed, they who have believed and done righteous deeds and
humbled themselves to their Lord - those are the companions of Paradise; they will abide
eternally therein.
وَٱخۡفِضۡ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ ٱلذُّلِّ مِنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَةِ وَقُل رَّبِّ
ٱرۡحَمۡهُمَا
كَمَا
رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيرٗا
Wakhfid lahumaa janaahaz zulli minar rahmati wa qur Rabbir
hamhumaa kamaa rabbayaanee sagheera
And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy and say,
"My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up [when I was] small."
وَلَا تَمۡشِ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مَرَحًاۖ إِنَّكَ لَن تَخۡرِقَ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَلَن تَبۡلُغَ ٱلۡجِبَالَ طُولٗا
Wa laa tamshi fil ardi marahan innaka lan takhriqal arda wa
lan tablughal jibaala toola
And do not walk upon the earth exultantly. Indeed, you will
never tear the earth [apart], and you will never reach the mountains in height.
۩ وَيَخِرُّونَ لِلۡأَذۡقَانِ يَبۡكُونَ
وَيَزِيدُهُمۡ خُشُوعٗا
Wa yakhirroona lil azqaani yabkoona wa yazeeduhum khushoo'aa
(make sajda)
And they fall upon their faces weeping, and the Qur'an increases
them in humble submission.
وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٖ
جَعَلۡنَا
مَنسَكٗا لِّيَذۡكُرُواْ ٱسۡمَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَىٰ مَا رَزَقَهُم مِّنۢ بَهِيمَةِ ٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِۗ فَإِلَٰهُكُمۡ إِلَٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞ فَلَهُۥٓ أَسۡلِمُواْۗ وَبَشِّرِ
ٱلۡمُخۡبِتِينَ
Wa likulli ummatin ja'alnaa mansakal liyazkurus mal laahi
'alaa maa razaqahum mim baheematil an'aam; failaahukum ilaahunw Waahidun falahooo aslimoo;
wa bashshiril mukhbiteen
And for all religion We have appointed a rite [of sacrifice]
that they may mention the name of Allah over what He has provided for them of [sacrificial]
animals. For your god is one God, so to Him submit. And, [O Muhammad], give good tidings to
the humble [before their Lord]
وَجَٰهِدُواْ فِي ٱللَّهِ حَقَّ
جِهَادِهِۦۚ
هُوَ
ٱجۡتَبَىٰكُمۡ
وَمَا

ٱلدِّينِ

مِّلَّةَ أَبِيكُمۡ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَۚ هُوَ سَمَّىٰكُمُ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ مِن قَبۡلُ وَفِي هَٰذَا لِيَكُونَ ٱلرَّسُولُ شَهِيدًا عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَتَكُونُواْ شُهَدَآءَ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِۚ فَأَقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُواْ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَٱعۡتَصِمُواْ بِٱللَّهِ هُوَ مَوۡلَىٰكُمۡۖ فَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمَوۡلَىٰ
وَنِعۡمَ
ٱلنَّصِيرُ
Wa jaahidoo fil laahi haqqa jihaadih; Huwaj tabaakum wa maa
ja'ala 'alaikum fid deeni min haraj; Millata abeekum Ibraaheem; Huwa sammaakumul muslimeena

wa ni'man naseer (section 10) (End Juz 17)
And strive for Allah with the striving due to Him. He has chosen
you and has not placed upon you in the religion any difficulty. [It is] the religion of your
father, Abraham. Allah named you "Muslims" before [in former scriptures] and in
this [revelation] that the Messenger may be a witness over you and you may be witnesses over
the people. So establish prayer and give zakah and hold fast to Allah. He is your protector;
and excellent is the protector, and excellent is the helper.
وَعِبَادُ
ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَمۡشُونَ عَلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ هَوۡنٗا وَإِذَا خَاطَبَهُمُ ٱلۡجَٰهِلُونَ قَالُواْ سَلَٰمٗا
Wa 'ibaadur Rahmaanil lazeena yamshoona 'alal ardi hawnanw
wa izaa khaata bahumul jaahiloona qaaloo salaamaa
And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon
the earth easily, and when the ignorant address them [harshly], they say [words of] peace,
إِن نَّشَأۡ نُنَزِّلۡ عَلَيۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةٗ فَظَلَّتۡ أَعۡنَٰقُهُمۡ لَهَا خَٰضِعِينَ
In nashaa nunazzil 'alaihim minas samaaa'i Aayatan fazallat
a'naaquhum lahaa khaadi'een
If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for
which their necks would remain humbled.
وَلَا تُصَعِّرۡ خَدَّكَ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا تَمۡشِ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مَرَحًاۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخۡتَالٖ فَخُورٖ
Wa laa tusa'-'ir khaddaka linnaasi wa laa tamshi fil ardi
maarahan innal laaha laa yuhibbu kulla mukhtaalin fakhoor
And do not turn your cheek [in contempt] toward people and do
not walk through the earth exultantly. Indeed, Allah does not like everyone self-deluded and
boastful.
