Pride

The disease of pride and arrogance is worst of all vices as it wipes a heart clean from goodness and piety. Pride attacks the faith and beliefs and directs a person away from the righteous path of religion. Pride leads to other spiritual maladies and vices which are four in number and mentioned below with ayahs:

-Pride deprives from truth and truthfulness. Allah turns the hearts of pride people away from his revelations and puts a seal over it thus blinding them from His verses. It is the worst condition as it totally robs from religions understanding.  

“I shall turn away from My revelations those who show pride in the world wrongfully.” (7.146)

“And in this way Allah does put a seal on every arrogant disdainful heart.” (40.35)

-The wrath and punishment of Allah fall on the jealous person. Allah has said:

“Certainly He does not love the proud ones.” (16:23)

It is narrated that Hazrat Moosa (AS) asked exalted Allah: “Oh my Lord! Who is the most deserving of your wrath and displeasure?” Allah Ta’aala told him:
“It is he whose heart is filled with pride and his tongue is filthy (i.e. Abusive), his eyes are devoid of shame, his hands are miserly and he is of bad conduct and character."

-Disgrace and ill-repute are the ultimate faith of a pride person. Allah does not cause the proud fellow to meet his death unless he is disgraced and dishonored by his own family, relatives and servants.

 -Burning in hell in the hereafter.

Ibn Mas'ud (RA) said: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "The haughty, even with pride equal to a mustard seed in his heart, will not enter Jannah." A man enquired: "What about that a person likes fine dress and fine shoes?" He said: "Allah is Beautiful and likes beauty. Pride amounts to disclaiming truth out of self-esteem, and despising people.”
