It means that one does not elevate or exalt oneself above others due to knowledge, lineage, wealth, status, leadership, governorship, or other such factors. Instead, it is obligatory to lower one's wing to the believers. A person should show kindness to them, just as the most honourable and exalted of creation before Allah, the Messenger of Allah (May Allah elevate his rank and grant him peace), used to show kindness to the believers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe was so humble that a young girl could take him by the hand and lead him wherever she wanted, and he would fulfil her needs for her.
