====Islam==== In the [[Qur'an]], various Arabic words conveying the meaning of "humility" are used. The very term "[[Islam]]" can be interpreted as "surrender (to God), humility", from the triconsonantal root [[S-L-M]]; other words used are {{transliteration|ar|tawadu}} and {{transliteration|ar|khoshou}}: <!-- the word "humility" is a noun but the 2 Arabic words used before were verbs, so I changed these to nouns. In order not to have a discussion about this, I will explain that I know what the previous editor had in mind. The person who used the verbs (which were the past tense of a male 3rd person singular) used what is customarily considered a "root" of the verb, which, for example, is used in finding a word in a dictionary. This, however, was not warranted here because we just needed to have the exact translation of the noun "humility" --> {{Blockquote|And the servants of (Allah) Most Gracious are those who walk on the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them, they say, "Peace!"|{{Qref|25|63|t=y|b=y}}}} {{blockquote|Successful indeed are the believers: those who humble themselves in prayer;|{{qref|23|1-2|b=y}}}} {{blockquote|"The loftiest in status are those who do not know their own status, and the most virtuous of them are those who do not know their own virtue."|Imam ash-Shafi'i <ref>{{Cite book |author=Al-Dhahabī |title=[[Siyar A'lam al-Nubala]]}}</ref> }} {{blockquote|"Your humbleness humbles others and your modesty brings out the modesty of others."|Abdulbary Yahya|}}
