Assalamualaikum Br Abdur Rahman
Powerful verse. Thank you for highlighting it.
Humility is a reflection of man’s acknowledgment of his limitation and confirming God’s Omnipotence and Omniscience. Thus humility merits God’s forgiveness and it is only through humility we are permitted to enter the gate of our true soul into the city of the Beloved
May God bless

Dear brother …short but powerful message ..RabindraNath Tagore has also said “We come nearest to the great when we are great in humility.”

Salaams Dipti,
Thank you. All that is good comes from God, Sustainer of all that exists. Only the mistakes are mine.
I know little of Rabindranath, but would like to learn more. Could you recommend a good source?
