The Deadly Disease Of Pride by Lukgaf(op): 8:38am On Oct 03, 2025
Pride and arrogance are among the most destructive diseases of the heart. They erase piety, corrupt faith, and open the door to many other vices. The Qur’an and Sunnah repeatedly warn against it, yet many of us take it lightly. Below are four calamities that arise from pride:

1. Deprived of Truth
Arrogance blinds the heart from guidance. Allah says:

“I shall turn away from My revelations those who show pride in the world wrongfully.” (Qur’an 7:146)

2. Allah’s Wrath and Displeasure
Allah does not love the proud (16:23). The Prophet ﷺ described such a person as abusive, shameless, miserly, and of bad character.

3. Disgrace in This World
The arrogant are often humbled before death—disgraced even among their own people—showing the futility of false pride.

4. Hellfire in the Hereafter
In a Hadith Qudsi, Allah says: “Pride is My cloak and grandeur My garment. Whoever disputes with Me in either of them, I will admit him into the Hellfire.”

In conclusion I, no sin should be taken lightly, especially pride. The Prophet ﷺ warned:
“Whoever has in his heart an atom’s weight of pride will not enter Paradise.” (Muslim)

We must therefore purify our hearts, humble ourselves before Allah, and remember that Islam itself means submission. Any trace of arrogance distances us from Allah’s mercy and from Jannah.

May Allah cleanse our hearts of pride, protect us from arrogance, and admit us into His mercy. Āmīn.

Is the Holy Quran all about DONTS?
I really don’t think so. Every Friday, it is almost certain a post about something prohibited and forsaken by Allah.
Why not highlight some motivational aspect of the holy book. Aspect that talks about peace, forgiveness, understanding….etc
