Hadith 19:
Hadith 18:
Main Teachings:
● We learn from this hadith that faith is the basic requirement for salvation with God
because it takes away God’s wrath. We come to know that true faith develops a sense
of humility and makes us submissive to God’s command.
● Pride is the worst attribute of a man; arrogance means rejecting the truth and looking
down on people.
Anyone that Allah has blessed with beauty, wealth, authority, or even piety should
remain humble to Him and thank Him for His gifts, and not be proud as pride and
arrogance are linked with Shaytan (Iblis) and it was for this sin he was expelled from
paradise.
●
● A Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) says, “Allah, the most high, says,
pride is My cloak and greatness My robe, and whoever competes with Me in
respect of either, I shall cast him into hellfire”.
Actions:
● A Muslim must remain firm in his faith, and should stay free from any kind of
arrogance. Muslims should actively resist giving place to pride in their hearts and
should follow the example of the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) who never placed
himself on a pedestal.
● He remained an example of humanity when he was granted prophethood, when he
became the leader of Madina, and even after the Conquest of Makkah.
● The Holy Quran also informs us that Iblis refused to obey the command of Allah to
bow before Adam, because of his pride and was thus thrown out of heaven. The
Quran says, “He(satan) refused (to obey) and was arrogant. He was of
those who rejected”.
● Thus Muslims should be watchful and make sure that there is no place in their hearts
or minds for pride and arrogance no matter how much success, wealth and popularity
they achieve in this world.
