Hussam al-Seba’i speaks about “Modesty in Islam”

“If you are a strong person, or smart, or successful, and feel you have achieved more than those around you, and feel sometimes that I am good person because I have done all these things, and you say: “I did it!” you have become like Shaytan. Because the first thing that Shaytan said when he was told to be humble was Ana! (‘I’) because he felt he was better than Adam. Think of Prophet Sulayman when he was given dominion over all of earth and the forces of nature and he said: Hazha min Fadhlih Rabbi (‘This is truly from the grace of my Lord!’).”

*Imam Khalid Griggs speaks about “Islam: Your Gateway to Freedom” *

“When we look at the history of wahy (revelation), when we look at the prophetic history as contained in the Quran we find that Allah has put in the Quran stories that make it clear that the life on this earth as human beings is about freeing ourselves, liberating ourselves from the slavery of worshiping other than Allah.”
