BRANCHES OF FAITH: HUMILITY (Part 3)
Arrogance & pride (Kibr) is the opposite of humility & modesty. It is a spiritual illness that makes the afflicted one consider himself superior to others due to his knowledge, social or economic status, appearance or any other blessing bestowed upon him by his Creator.
When describing this dispraised trait, our Prophet (ﷺ) said:
الْكِبْرُ بَطَرُ الْحَقِّ، وَغَمْطُ النَّاسِ
Arrogance means ridiculing and rejecting the Truth and belittling people.”
WHY IS IT SO DISLIKED?
Pride prevents one from acquiring the qualities of the believers, thus he cannot like for the believers that which he likes for himself, nor can he be humble, or avoid envy, or restrain his anger, or even accept good advice.
