Nor boast of yourself in a way to see yourself as greater than others. As creatures are equal in being distant from being worshipped, so also are they equal in that they are all created. Those who are truly humble do not attribute to themselves the fruits of their work and efforts, nor do they regard as a cause of superiority over others their successes or the efforts they have exerted in the way of God. They are not attracted to people's good opinion of themselves and never demand a return for their services in the way of God. Regarding their being loved by others as a sincerity test, they do not exploit God's favors on them as a means of boasting to others.
Roses grow on earth.
Man was created on the earth not in the heavens. The time when a believer is nearest to God is when he is prostrate before Him.
