Pride is His cloak

I don't want to feel better than anyone else 
because 
I know I am not 

I don't want to feel proud of what I wrote 
because 
I am not self taught 

I don't want to be arrogant 
just because 
I worship a lot 

Being blessed with talents
does not give me 
the right to show off 

If I am steeped in sin 
not a moment must be lost 
before forgiveness is sought 

Pride, Vanity, Self love,
These are all displeasing 
to the One Above

It is easy to forget
I have nothing to be proud of 
We should always remember 
Pride belongs solely
to the Creator of our world.



"Whenever I set myself the task to learn, I realize how little I know, and the more I learn, the more I realize how ignorant I am." [Imam ash-Shafi'ee (rahimahullah)]
