#BeHumble
Don't let our success, achievements or progress get to our heads.
1. Allah is the Creator of Causes that got you there: sure, our efforts and hard work may have been the means, but don't forget those very same tools (brains, people) and opportunities we use were created and permitted by Him in the first place.
Recognize the nature of interdependence, and how the Almighty had lined up the pieces for you in ways you didn't realize.
2. The Danger of 'Ujub: Ego is the Enemy. Self-admiration or taking full credit for one's success is a spiritual pitfall that can lead to ruin.
The Prophet ﷺ said a person with arrogance - denying the truth or looking down on others people - even if its the weight of a mustard seed, will not enter Paradise. (Muslim)
3. Humility: True success is not a reflection of our "greatness" but a reflection of Allah's "facilitation."
Be grateful, stay humble, keep improving
