Dignity

Dignity is so sacred that a person is not allowed to denigrate himself. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: "It is not permissible for a Mu’min (believer) to denigrate himself ..."

If a person is not allowed to take his own dignity, then think of the gravity of taking the dignity of a person, of an ‘Aalim? These questions can be answered in a better way by those who have respect for ‘Ilm (knowledge) and the Ulama. As for those who do not have Adab and respect, it is a futile to ask them such questions. Only the Aashiq understand the words of Ishq!
