Be Humble

If Allah didn't humble down the earth, we won't be able to walk on it. We won't be able to find our provision. We won't be able to drive our fancy cars and live in our comfortable homes and go on vacations or even sip tea. It is a huge blessing that we take for granted. And some people keep doing corruption on this earth. 

So, once in a while Allah allows the earth and the sky to show their natural temperament (violence) as warnings. All those many earthquakes, landslides, tsunami, floods, hurricanes, storms, that occur in front of our eyes or we saw in the news, have they softened your hearts and left your greed and arrogance? Time to show your gratitude. Learn to be humble. 

‏ هُوَ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ ذَلُولًا فَٱمْشُوا۟ فِى مَنَاكِبِهَا وَكُلُوا۟ مِن رِّزْقِهِۦ ۖ وَإِلَيْهِ ٱلنُّشُورُ ‎﴿١٥﴾‏ ءَأَمِنتُم مَّن فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ أَن يَخْسِفَ بِكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَمُورُ ‎﴿١٦﴾‏ أَمْ أَمِنتُم مَّن فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ أَن يُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ حَاصِبًا ۖ فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ كَيْفَ نَذِيرِ ‎﴿١٧﴾‏

It is He who made the earth tame for you - so walk among its slopes and eat of His provision - and to Him is the resurrection. (15) Do you feel secure that He who [holds authority] in the heaven would not cause the earth to swallow you and suddenly it would sway? (16) Or do you feel secure that He who [holds authority] in the heaven would not send against you a storm of stones? Then you would know how [severe] was My warning. (17) (Surah Al Mulk)
