The Messiah, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani

He said:

It is conditional on people of Taqwa to spend their lives in meekness and humility. This is a branch of Taqwa through which we contend with unwarranted anger. The last and critical stage for great devout and truthful people is to avoid anger. Arrogance and conceit is borne out of anger and at times, anger is in itself results from arrogance and conceit. Anger is generated when a person gives preference to his own self over the other. I do not want people of my community to consider each either lowly or great or have pride over each other or look on them with contempt. God knows who is lowly and who is great. This is a kind of humiliation which carries disdain. It is feared that this disdain grows like a seed and becomes a source of destruction. Some people are very courteous when they meet those who are great. But greatness is in listening to what a humble person has to say with humility and gratify him, respect what he has to say and not to say anything irritable to him that may hurt him. Allah the Exalted states:

‘… Nor taunt each other with nicknames. It is bad indeed to earn foul reputation after professing the faith; and those who repent not are the wrongdoers.’ (Al Quran 49:11)

Do not call names borne out of irritation, this is an act of the wicked. One who taunts another will not die until he too is not similarly embroiled. Do not condemn your brothers. When all of you drink from the same spring who knows whose fate is to drink more? One cannot be honorable and respectable through worldly principles. In the sight of Allah the Exalted one who is righteous is great.

‘… Indeed, the most honorable among you, in the sight of Allah, is he who is the most righteous among you. Surely, Allah is All-knowing, All-Aware.’ (Al Quran 49:14)
