Email from National Center Are you truly free from pride and arrogance?   Word of the Week: Humility.   Not given to vain discourse; modest sense of one's own importance; submissiveness. ~Self-Improvement: The Basis for Community Development Study Guide 15, The Characteristic of Humility, Glossary "Humility is that quality or characteristic of the heart that causes one to see oneself in true perspective. It is one of the qualities that we must gain in order to bring about a better world and become redeemers of self and others. Conversely. Pride is a disease of the heart that causes one to see oneself totally out of focus. The only way to gain a true perspective on oneself is through a proper relationship with Allah (God). In that relationship, He is the center and He it is to whom sincere obedience is due. Without that relationship, we will see ourselves out of focus; we will see ourselves bigger than we actually are." ~Self-Improvement: The Basis for Community Development Study Guide 15, The Characteristic of Humility, Analysis Are you truly free from pride and arrogance?   National Center | 7351 South Stony Island Ave. | Chicago, IL 60649 US Unsubscribe | Update Profile | Constant Contact Data Notice
