Arrogance, Boastful About One’s Personality and Significance, And Boastful In Speech! – [A Good Time For Self-scrutiny And Reflection]


In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Allaah [The Most High] said in Soorah Luqmaan Ayah 18:

 وَلَا تُصَعِّرْ خَدَّكَ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا تَمْشِ فِي الْأَرْضِ مَرَحًا إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخْتَالٍ فَخُورٍ

[وَلَا تُصَعِّرْ خَدَّكَ لِلنَّاسِ  –And turn not your face away from men with pride] – Meaning: Do not turn away and frowning at the people with your face, being arrogant towards them and exalting (yourself). [ وَلَا تَمْشِ فِي الْأَرْضِ مَرَحًا ۖ –Nor walk in insolence through the earth] -Meaning: Out of vanity, boasting about blessings, forgetful of the one who bestowed it upon you (i.e. Allaah) and being amazed with yourself. [إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخْتَالٍ فَخُورٍ- Verily, Allah likes not each arrogant boaster]- Meaning: Boastful about himself, his personality and significance, and in his speech.
