Abstract

Qualifications play a significant role in religions and beliefs. The religion of Islam defines believers with certain characteristics. Patient, resigned, fair, merciful, etc. Most of these characteristics are common in other religions as well, although there are some differences. In this study, the concept of humility, which is one of the basic qualities that Islam emphasizes, is considered a social quality/virtue. Humility, like every virtue/qualification, has situations that shift to excess and understatement. Modesty is the note in the middle of dedication and contemplation in Islamic belief. Humility is knitted in this work as acting in the line drawn by the Creator according to His place and time. The attitudes of humility towards the Creator and other beings are handled one by one and their positive and negative aspects are indicated. Angels, prophets, inanimate beings, animals, and plants show a completely positive attitude towards other beings. In humans and jinn, both positive and negative attitudes emerge, while the devil acts in a completely negative manner. In the study, there are approximately 90 relations of entities in eight categories other than the Creator, item by item. As a result, a graphical template was tried to be drawn for the concept of "humility" as a modeling experiment in light of the findings. As a result of this graphics, it was concluded that the concept of humility would be much more understandable. Keywords: Attitudes of humility, states of humility, humility in Islam, stages of humility, humility among creatures.
