[17].Surah Al-Isra' [The Journey By Night]: Ayat 2-3


also called as Surah Bani Israel [The Children of Israel]
Ayat 2. And We gave Mûsa PBUH (Moses) the Scripture and made it a guidance for the Children of Israel (saying): "Take not other than Allah as (your) Wakil (Protector, Lord, or Disposer of your affairs, etc).
Ayat 3. "O offspring of those whom We carried (in the ship) with Nuh (Noah)! Verily, he was a grateful slave."
Hazrat Iyad bin Himar (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Allah has revealed to me that you should humble yourselves to one another. One should neither hold himself above another nor transgress against another.''
[Muslim Book 40, Chapter 17, Hadith # 6856]. 

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Surah Al-Isra Ayat 3. Verily, he was a grateful slave." To treat each other humbly, leniently and lovingly is understood as humility. One, under this principle, is also required not to despise anybody on the basis of wealth, social distinction and lineage. Moreover, one should also not adopt an unkind attitude towards others. Besides, if Allah has bestowed honour on somebody, he is supposed to be grateful to Him, instead of behaving disrespectfully towards people and subjecting them to unkindness and tyranny.
