23 Preface إِنَّ الَّذينَ آمَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّالِحاتِ وَأَخبَتوا إِلىٰ رَبِّهِم أُولٰئِكَ أَصحابُ الجَنَّةِ ۖ هُم فيها خالِدونَYusuf AliBut those who believe and work righteousness, and humble themselves before their Lord,-1 They will be companions of the gardens, to dwell therein for aye!Note that the humility is to be “before their Lord,” i.e., in God’s sight. There is no virtue, quite the contrary, in rubbing our noses to the ground before men. We are not to be arrogant even before men because we are humble as in God’s sight. Nor does true humility lose self-confidence: for that self-confidence arises from confidence in the support and help of God.
