Ghazali on Status and Ostentation · Travelling Light (TRAILER)

The good Muslim is to be humble, and should avoid displays or tokens of high esteem. This applies particularly to religious leaders and Sufis, who should demonstrate the virtue of modesty. The author explains the harm done by status, and outlines a method by which believers may recognise and eliminate the love of fame and repute in their hearts. This is to be done by remembering the unique power and eternity of God, and by recalling our needy dependence on Him. Class given by Dr Samir Mahmoud (Cambridge Muslim College) in the Bahauddin Naqshband Complex, Bukhara, Uzbekistan.
