SIMILARITIES TO ISLAM · HUMILITY
Humility Before God
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
[Al-Furqān - 63]
﴿ وَعِبَادُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَمۡشُونَ عَلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ هَوۡنٗا وَإِذَا خَاطَبَهُمُ ٱلۡجَٰهِلُونَ قَالُواْ سَلَٰمٗا ﴾ [الفرقان - ٦٣]
[Al-Furqān - 63] And the slaves of the Most Beneficent (Allah) are those who walk on the earth in humility and sedateness, and when the foolish address them (with bad words) they reply back with mild words of gentleness.
This verse is relevant because it highlights humility before God, a virtue central to Islam’s core teachings. Muslims use it to show that their spiritual posture is not an innovation, but a return to original guidance. By connecting Islamic humility to biblical counsel, they strengthen their case for Islam as a faith consistent with earlier messages.
