Comprehension

What is meant by simplicity and humility?

Simplicity means to lead a simple life without any greed or lust for worldly pleasures and

comforts. It must be reflected in all the aspects of an individual’s lifestyle from clothing to

bedding, diet, and manners, etc. On the other hand, humility means to show a humble and

down-to-earth attitude towards other people. Humility also stands for modest behavior

neither too low nor too proud.

in the light of the text that you have read.

Hazrat Muhammad (P.B.U.H) led a simple, humble life. He (P.B.U.H) used to do his work by

himself rather than asking other family members. He (P.B.U.H) used to share his

responsibilities with his companions. He (P.B.U.H) never liked to sit at the upper or special

place while He (P.B.U.H) liked to sit among his fellows at the same level.

He (P.B.U.H) used to wear a simple dress. He (P.B.U.H) always gives respect to others

irrespective of his caste, creed, or color. He (P.B.U.H) always eats a simple diet and sleeps on

a leather mattress made of date fiber. He (P.B.U.H) always showed respectful behavior

extravagance and waste?

By adopting simplicity and humility in our lives, we would be able to shun the lust from our

minds for spending our hard-earned money in buying unwanted luxurious items. We most

of the time like to buy worldly items to satisfy our sense of pride and superiority. In this way,

we waste our money to buy extra or expensive stuff. If we adopt simplicity and humility then

our social behavior would be considerate and genuine, our happiness would be original and

we would bow our heads in humility and affection.

Q.A) Write a unified paragraph on the topic

sentence, ‘pride makes us artificial and humility

makes us real’ by using specific words, vivid verbs,

modifier, and adequate supporting details to

develop the main idea. Answer:

‘Pride makes us artificial and humility makes us real’ means that due to the feature of pride

in one’s personality, that person starts thinking himself superior to others. He starts making

artificial gestures and behaves superficially just to pose him at the upper level among his

companions or fellow beings.

On the other hand, if a person is humble or follows the path of humility then he does not

have to adopt artificial means to prove him a good human being. He represents himself as

he is without boasting about his personality or positives. In reality, pride can be treated

either in a positive way or in a negative. If a person feels pride in his achievements or

success then it is positive but when a person feels pride as being a rich man, well-educated

person, privileged human, etc and boasts them all considering others inferior to him then it

is the negative aspect of pride.
