Day 312
Dignity in All Conditions
الْمُذِلُّ
Al-Mudhill The Humbler
وَلَا تَهِنُوا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا وَأَنتُمُ الْأَعْلَوْنَ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
Faint not nor grieve, for ye will overcome them if ye are (indeed) believers
Surah Āl-ʿImrān (3:139)
Intention
Today, my dignity will not fluctuate with circumstances. It is anchored in my Lord.
Reflection
Al-Mudhill integrated: your dignity does not depend on circumstances. Whether honoured or humiliated by the world, your worth is established by Al-Mudhill's counterpart, Al-Muʿizz. The integrated life carries dignity through every condition (wealth and poverty, health and illness, success and failure) because its source is not worldly.
On this verse
Do not weaken, your worth is not determined by this moment.
Du'a
حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ
Those unto whom men said: Lo! the people have gathered against you, therefor fear them. (The threat of danger) but increased the faith of them and they cried: Allah is Sufficient for us! Most Excellent is He in Whom we trust
Surah Āl-ʿImrān (3:173)
The du'a of unshakeable dignity, said by the believers when threatened.
Hadith
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'Be in the world as if you are a stranger or a traveller.'
