That is the reason why Hadrat Thanwi (Rahimahullah) regarded himself as lower than all the Muslims of the world during his time. He would regard every Muslim as superior because there was a possibility that some act of his being accepted by Allah and an act of mine not being accepted by Allah and He becoming angry. With regards to the future, he said that he regarded himself worse than all the kuffar, dogs, pigs and animals of the world, that is, regarding the end result because no one knows what his end result would be. When one does not know the consequence, how can one regard oneself as better. Subhanallah, what knowledge Hadhrat had and how illuminated were his words. "I regard myself lower than the Muslims now and lower than the disbelievers and animals in future." He used to say that when he thought about the final result, he would tremble and wonder what Ashraf Ali’s condition would be. He said that if he got a place where the people of jannat left their shoes, that would be indeed sufficient for him. This also, he said he was not entitled to but because he could not withstand hell. On the other hand, we perform a few raka’at nafl salah and think we have become the owners of jannah. This is pure foolishness.
