مَنْ تَوَاضَعَ لِلَّهِ، رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ، وَمَنْ تَكَبَّرَ، وَضَعَهُ اللَّهُ
Whoever humbles himself for Allah, Allah raises him; and whoever acts arrogantly, Allah lowers him.

تَوَاضَعَ is a past-tense verb of Form VI meaning to act humbly. تَكَبَّرَ is Form V, indicating arrogant self-importance. The pronoun ـهُ in رَفَعَهُ refers to the humble person; in وَضَعَهُ it refers to the arrogant one. The two parallel conditions set up contrasting outcomes.
Humility does not mean surrendering one's rights or dignity. It means accepting truth and not looking down on others. Arrogance often shows itself in dismissing people as inferior. The raising mentioned in the report should not be reduced to automatic fame or material success.
