arrogance

“One will not enter Paradise, if one has an atom’s weight of arrogance in his/her heart.” a man then asked, “One may love his clothes to look good and his shoes to look good?!” The prophet replied, “Allah is beautiful and loves beauty, arrogance is: rejecting the truth and looking down on people.”

one's arrogance has got nothing to do with the past or what we've been through in life, there's no such thing. arrogance is a state of heart that is discreetly conquered by Satan himself. only that we failed to realized this.

the story goes way back to the story of Adam a.s when Allah had commanded the Angels including Satan to bow down to Adam. Every Angels bowed down as commanded but Satan arrogantly disagreed with Allah and looked down towards Adam claiming that Adam was made by Mud unlike him which was made by fire that he would not bow down at a lowly creature. And Allah had said "I know what you don't know" but after Allah's words Satan arrogance cannot be mended and as a result Satan was thrown to the hell fire because of it.

then, without realizing we too are following the Satan's characteristics by being so proud and arrogant. yes, without realizing we too are in the state of heading to Hell fire because we posses the inner arrogance in ourselves. astagfirullah.

let's us be humble only for Allah's sake.

wallahua'lam.

:) hm..aku memang suka share benda camni, mind you, aku dulu arrogance jugak, tak ingat dunia punya, sekarang pon ada sekali sekala terlepas bila arrogance wujud dalam hati sikit, semua orang akan ada jugak arrogance walaupon sekecil zarah, atas kita la sebenarnya untuk detect dan sedar dan cepat kembali ke landasan yang betol.

yela, hati manusia cepat bolak balik dan cepat lupa, tambah lagi bila ada setan yang sentiasa cucuk hati kita.

untuk melatih hati menjadi suci dari yang tak patut bukannya senang, memakan masa yang agak lama. bagi yang sedar tu, kita semua sebenarnya dalam process membetolkan hati untuk mencapai sifat2 yang terpuji disisi Allah swt pada diri kita. termasuk lah aku..

all the best.
