Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is there evidence that the worship commanded is the utmost humility combined with love? Is humility alone not sufficient?
Answer:
No. One may be humbled by tyrants and wild beasts without submitting to them. Not everyone who is humbled by something submits to it, and not everyone who submits to something is humbled by it. Therefore, it is necessary to combine the utmost love with the utmost humility. Yes.
