💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 I believe Allah is the Greatest, Above all things,
The One Who made us servants to worship Only Him.
Among the worst traits which Allah hates is arrogance -
To act as though oneself is better than everyone.
~•~
The genuinely arrogant aren’t teachable.
They assume they’re perfect, and avoid being helpful.
They’re likely materialistic. They loathe what’s simple,
Looking down on the less fortunate and poor people.
~•~
The arrogant would say statements like, “There is no way
I’ll talk to them. They’re ‘hizbi’, astray, they’ll never change.”
Or “Unless they’re wealthy, I don’t care if they’re okay.”
The prideful can’t say sorry nor forgive your mistakes.
~•~
The arrogant when given advice feel insulted,
Suspect your niyyah, and detest being reminded.
Ironically they love being congratulated
Yet when others thrive they feel belittled and jealous.
~•~
Confidence is a strength granted by Allah Most Wise,
While actual arrogance causes people to deny
The truth of the reality of this worldly life -
Such pride weakens faith and makes one forget Paradise.

📖 Jabir Ibn Abdullah RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah’s noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “Verily, the most beloved and nearest to my gathering on the Day of Resurrection are those of you with the best character. Verily, the most reprehensible of you to me and the farthest from my gathering on the Day of Resurrection will be the pompous, the extravagant, and the pretentious.” They said, “O Messenger of Allah, we know the pompous and the extravagant, but who are the pretentious?” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “The arrogant.”
