Civility
\r\n Surah Al-Taubah (The Repentance) Chapter 9: Verse 112 (partial)

\r\n

"Those who observe the limits set by God."

\r\n
\r\n

Civility is preserving the limit between exaggeration and coolness, while being aware of the damage that may result from aggression.

\r\n

It consists of three levels:

\r\n

The first level is preventing fear from extending to despair, keeping expectation from turning into security and containing pleasure so that it does not equal boldness.

\r\n

The second level is forsaking fear in order to enter the field of constriction, rising from expectation to the field of expansion and progressing from happiness to the field of contemplation.

\r\n

The third level is being aware of civility, then dispensing with civility by experiencing the civility of the True One, then escaping from witnessing the burdens of civility.
