The Supreme in Greatness

The only One to whom greatness rightfully belongs.

The tongue

A reflexive form of k-b-r: to manifest oneself as great. In the creature this is a flaw; in God it is a truth.

The reason

He is great in Himself, and not by comparison.

The Sufi meaning

The more the servant effaces himself, the more this Name appears in clarity. Human pride is a theft committed against the only One who possesses greatness by full right.

The servant's portion

Acknowledge that any greatness you feel within you has been lent to you — and give it back through gratitude.
