<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) A person should be humble to Allah Almighty and towards Muslims. He should look with respect and reverence at those older than him, with mercy and compassion at those who are younger, and with equality at those who are his peers. Indeed, showing humility to the people of faith helps spread justice and benevolence.<br>
2) The Prophet’s Sunnah is a revelation from Allah Almighty, which was sent down just like the Qur’an.<br>
3) Arrogance generates bragging amongst people, and bragging leads to oppression and severance of ties. So, let everyone shun this behavior.
