"If you are aware of your humility, then you are arrogant." - Ibn Ata'Allah
I think this is a great quote. To feel that you even possess such a noble quality is a feeling of arrogance. We should let humility be a natural part of our demeanor, without even thinking about it. I'm sure many of us are humble, but whenever we do something humble, we get this good feeling we just did something that was humble. We shouldn't even have this feeling if we truly possess humility. May Allah make us amongst those who are truly humble.
Rasulullah (saw) said: Allah has revealed to me that you must be humble, so that no one oppresses another and boasts over another. [Abu Dawud]

I like this one. Sometimes our ego inflates with a sense of pride and thats when our deeds become dunya deeds. Rather we should be remaining with Taqwa wondering wether or not our deed pleased Allah, don't feel contented or satisfied when there is more you can do and there are people who do more.
JazakAllah Khair brother, that was a nice point of reflection
Assalaamu Alaikum
MashaAllaah, that is one powerful quote. There are a number of hadiths and Qur'anic verses that encourage us to be humble, in our prayers and in our lives as general. A muslim is indeed humble and modest.
No-one is humble for the sake of Allah, but Allah will raise him in status.” (Muslim) May Allaah grant us this virtue.
Jazakallaahu Khayran:)
