💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
🗒️ Seven things which many narcissists refuse to do because of kibr/arrogance:
1] Most narcissists don't have the courage or actual confidence to do something which they're not entirely sure of because they fear the likelihood of embarrassment and making mistakes. They want people to witness that they're completely "perfect" and free from flaws. AstaghfurAllah Al-'Atheem.
2] Since a lot of narcissists can't admit that they've made a mistake or misjudgment whenever they're clearly wrong about something, they hate making apologies. If self-interest or necessity compels them to say sorry, they'd apologize but begrudgingly while having no plans to rectify their errors.
3] Seeing how narcissists generally get jealous of others, as they aspire to be "better than everybody", giving sincere compliments and words of encouragement are too difficult for them to do.
4] Because narcissists care more about their selfish selves, ego and public image, they frequently invent lies or conceal certain truths to preserve positive reputation. Keeping your secrets, fulfilling promises, proving they're trustworthy, following through plans and defending you when you require support are from the challenging tasks which they won't do unless bribery is involved.
5] Showing gratitude and thanking you for favors oftentimes cause them to feel "fake" or "artificial" because in reality they don't appreciate most people and can't genuinely thank you for what you can offer. A lot of narcissists are also too arrogant to ask for help, wrongly believing that "they don't need people at all, but people need them to survive".
6] Narcissists typically reject admonitions and advice coming from anybody whom they perceive as "incompetent", "delusional", "uneducated", "insignificant" or "not up to standard" even if the tips they receive can improve their condition or religious well-being.
7] Inability to attentively listen to people's problems, concerns and suggestions is common among those struggling with narcissism. If you send a message requesting them to advise you about something or asking them for a favor, they commonly leave you on "seen mode" or claim they'll get back to you later only to return after a long period of prideful silence and this time they're demanding you to pay attention to them.
💻🚩 Three obvious signs of narcissists on social media:
1] Frequent uploading of self-aggrandizing selfies and group photos a lot of which are filtered or photoshopped.
2] Displaying interest in watching and sharing TikTok videos more than listening to beneficial Islamic lectures.
3] Regularly gossiping or ranting on their online updates concerning individuals whom they can't stand. Collecting fans to dislike a particular individual through whining about them on their Facebook timelines, not with a motive to warn others against dangerous persons but to comfort their own emotional wounds.
May Allah the Almighty forgive all of our faults and keep us away from every unpleasant characteristic which He dislikes including selfishness and kibr/arrogance. Ameen.

📖 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 (or atom) 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."
