Luqmaan (Alayhis Salaam) said…that man’s intelligence reached perfection only after 10 qualities have been imbued in him.

Safety from pride
Fully inclined to do righteous deeds
To take only such material things which are absolutely necessary for one’s existence
To spend all excess material possessions
To regard Humility as higher than greatness
To regard humiliation of one’s ego as dignity and better than highness
Never to tire of acquiring knowledge
Not to make demands on anyone for the fulfilment of one’s needs
To regard the little favours, rendered by others as great and one’s own great favours rendered to others as insignificant.
To regard all people as being better than yourself, and yourself as the worst of people.
