Valued when Rare

By: Shaykh Mawlānā Muhammad Saleem Dhorat hafizahullāh

“It is much better to be humble than proud! It is an accepted fact that whatever is rare holds great value. Take the example of diamonds or gold; because they are scarce and difficult to acquire, people value them with great desire to posses them.

Keeping this in mind, look at the condition of the people around you. You will find those who are proud and also those who are humble.

Unfortunately, during our time those that are proud and arrogant hugely outweigh those who are humble; humbleness has become a very scarce quality.

Thus people will be attracted to those who possess humility just as they are attracted to other rare items in this world.”
