💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Arrogance is not in speaking up confidently,
Asserting your rights, sharing knowledge generously,
Defending a Muslim when some speak of them badly,
Enjoying solitude and choosing your friends wisely.

Real arrogance is to deny the truth pridefully,
To roll your eyes when someone speaks and say, "Oh really?
Who are you to correct my mistakes? You're nobody.
I'm way better than you. Your words mean nothing to me."
~•~
Real arrogance states, "I won't learn from anybody.
I was born perfect. I'm free from flaws, deficiencies,
And responsibilities. It's not my job to teach.
My ego is so big I can't even say sorry."

Arrogance is not in appreciating beauty,
Wearing clothes you can afford, writing creatively,
Taking care of your looks and liking to be pretty.
True arrogance keeps your nose in the air so proudly.
~•~
True arrogance makes one think, "I'm the best. I'm lucky.
No one else can surpass my fabulous qualities.
I'm entitled to special treatment like VIPs,
And those who don't greet me first are avowed enemies."
~•~
Actual arrogance causes one to act spitefully,
To envy others' gifts, oppress like jealous bullies,
To laugh when someone makes mistakes or falls clumsily,
To regard strangers' tips and advice as unworthy.
~•~
Arrogant people are insecure, inside ugly,
And since they're guilty of kibr, they lack inner peace.
The humble submit themselves to Allah patiently,
And strive to be fair and kind with every soul they meet.

📖 Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "No one who has the weight of a seed of arrogance in his heart will enter Paradise." Someone said, "But a man loves to have beautiful clothes and shoes." The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Verily, Allah is Beautiful and He loves beauty. Arrogance means rejecting the truth and looking down on the people."
In another narration, the Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "No one who has the weight of a seed of faith in his heart will enter Hellfire."
