Al-Ghazzali On the Treatment of Pride and Conceit Quotes

“Having being asked about what humility is, Fudayl [ibn Iyad] said, 'It is that you submit to the truth and follow it — even if you hear it from a little boy, you accept it; even if you hear it from the most ignorant of men, you accept it.”
― Abu Hamid al-Ghazali, Al-Ghazzali On the Treatment of Pride and Conceit

“[True] forms of knowledge increase the servant [of God] in fear, humility, and submissiveness, and demand that he see every person as better than him because of the magnitude of God's proof against him on account of his knowledge, and because of his falling short in showing gratitude for the blessing of this knowledge.”
― Abu Hamid al-Ghazali, Al-Ghazzali On the Treatment of Pride and Conceit
