• Introduction and excerpt from The Book of Humility, by Hussain al-Awaa'ishah.

• — And this I would do in two particulars: first, by shewing how the spirit of charity, or divine love, implies and tends to humility and then by shewing how such exercises of this charity as the gospel tends to draw forth do especially imply and tend to it. ...
• A spirit of charity, or divine love, implies and tends to humility. ...
• First, it implies humility. The spirit of charity, or divine love, as has already been shewn, is the sum of the Christian spirit, and of course implies humility in it, as an essential qualification. ... And this appears plain from two considerations: because a sense of the loveliness of God is peculiarly that discovery of God that works humility; and because, when God is truly loved, he is loved as an infinite superior. ...
• Because a sense of the loveliness of God is peculiarly that discovery of God that works humility. ... And it is the discovery or sense of God as lovely, and not only as lovely, but as infinitely above us in loveliness, that works humility in the heart. Merely having a sense of the fact that God is infinitely above us, and that there is an infinite distance between him and us in greatness, will not work humility. ... Under the work of the law on the heart, persons may have a sense of the awful greatness of God, and yet have no humility, because they have no sense of his loveliness. ... But this they may and often do have, and yet have no humility; and the reason is, that they have no sense of how much God is above them in loveliness. ...
• They have a clear sense of God's being infinitely above them in greatness, but they have no humility, because they do not feel how much he is above them in loveliness. As was observed, God makes the devils and lost spirits know and feel that he is above them in greatness and power, and that they are as nothing in his hands; and yet they are proud, and have no humility. ... ' But though they shall so clearly and so terribly see that God is infinitely above them in greatness, yet they will have no humility. ... Because they will not see God's loveliness, they will not know their infinite distance from him in this respect, and therefore will not be led to humility. And this their experience shews, that it is a sense of the infinite distance of the creature from the Creator in loveliness, that causes true humility. This it is that causes humility in the angels in heaven and in the saints on earth. And since it is a sense of God's loveliness that works humility, we may hence learn that divine love implies humility, for love is but the disposition of the heart toward God as lovely. If the knowledge of God as lovely causes humility, then a respect to God as lovely implies humility. And from this love to God arises a Christian love to man; and therefore it follows, that both love to God and love to man, the union of which is the very thing the apostle calls charity, alike imply humility. ...
