Humility in Surah Al-Hajj

Abstract

This research aimed to explain and analyze the concept of humility in the context of the verses of Surah Al-Hajj. The researcher used the descriptive analytical method. The importance of the research emerged in that it deals with this concept, which represents the heart's goal that links outward rituals with the inner reality of faith. The research defined humility as a state of faith that combines several meanings, so it is not limited to mere reverence, but includes perfect submission and surrender to God and complete tranquility and certainty in Him. It is a higher degree than reverence and is the fruit of repentance and continuous return to God. The research dealt with the two places where the state of humility is mentioned in Surah Al-Hajj. The first place: { give glad tidings to the Mukhbitūn(those who obey Allāh with humility and are humble from among the true believers of Islāmic Monotheism} [Al-Hajj 34. ), , came in the context of rituals to show that humility is the spirit and reality of worship. The verses also clarified the characteristics of these humble believers, describing them as “Whose hearts are filled with fear when Allāh is mentioned and Aṣ-Ṣābirūn[who patiently bear whatever may befall them (of calamities)]; and who perform Aṣ-Ṣalāt (Iqāmat-aṣ-Ṣalāt), and who spend (in Allāh’s Cause) out of what We have provided them. [Al-Hajj: 35
