I went to a talk recently about arrogance. I thought I'll share what I learnt. Arrogance is a major sin, and a person with even an atom's weight of arrogance in his heart, will not be bale to enter Paradise! The Sheikh taught us a few cures for arrogance:
- Strengthen your connection with Allah and the Akhirah
- Increase in your supplications
- Try to hide your good deeds
- Look into your short-comings
- Don't try to please people!
It was narrated from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “No one who has an atom’s-weight of arrogance in his heart will enter Paradise.” A man said, “O Messenger of Allaah, what if a man likes his clothes and his shoes to look good?” He said, “Allaah is Beautiful and loves beauty. Arrogance means rejecting the truth and looking down on people.”
Narrated by Muslim, 91.
It was narrated that Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri and Abu Hurayrah said: The Messenger of Allaah (S) said: “Might is His garment and pride is His cloak; whoever seeks to compete with Me concerning them, I will punish him.”
Narrated by Muslim, 2620.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And turn not your face away from men with pride, nor walk in insolence through the earth. Verily, Allaah likes not any arrogant boaster.
And be moderate (or show no insolence) in your walking, and lower your voice. Verily, the harshest of all voices is the braying of the asses”
[Luqmaan 31:18-19]
