Abstract:

Preserving the self, the highness above humiliation, and preserving its dignity is what our Islamic law called for, and raised its children on it. All matters are in the hands of Allah Almighty, and none of the creation possesses death or life for anyone, neither benefit nor harm, and they do not possess sustenance, so why humiliate the servant. He who humiliates himself must grow up and follow the path of glory and dignity that Allah Almighty wills, and humiliation is only for Allah Almighty in obedience to Him and righteousness in His law, for He is the sole owner of the kingdom. The reasons for happiness are self-esteem, that is to feel that he is dear and respected by himself and in others. On the contrary, a person's feeling of humiliation, ignominy, and insignificance of himself brings him a feeling of unhappiness and misery. We must avoid self-humiliation because there is nothing more important than honor and dignity. Islam is concerned with the subject of pride, and the believer should not humiliate himself. Glory belongs to Allah, His Messenger, and the believers. Man is Allah’s vicegerent on earth and the master of his creatures, and he is the one who prides and honors him. This caliph must feel proud and cherished because he is connected to the highest authority and dearest power. There are many verses and hadiths that condemn humiliation and forbid it. A person is called upon to regain his self-esteem, and defend it, whatever the cost, and he does not possess it in isolation from the value reform, which is the backbone of every positive change. Being able to establish the values of self-esteem makes one refuse to live dearly, and the effect of that virtuous trait will be reflected in the self to become normal. This, in turn, will enhance a person's self-confidence, so that he appreciates his capabilities, takes pride in his achievements, and puts himself in the circle of important accounts that do not accept infringement upon, and self-esteem becomes a red line that cannot be crossed. Therefore, he will receive a strong reaction, as there is no room for complacency in it at all. That is why he who does not enjoy a dear soul has a very weak immunity against attempts to kill the moral conscience and the heart that lead to living like beasts and luminaries that do not know where to put themselves.
