Arrogance brings about one‘s downfall
When Allah commanded Iblis to prostrate to Adam (AS), he objected, saying, 'I am better than him! You created me from fire and created him from clay.' (7:12) Iblis’s view that he had been created from a superior substance led him to disobey Allah; his arrogance thus changed his status from that of a devoted servant of Allah to becoming an outcast, destined for Hell. Arrogance is an enormous sin that deprives us of Allah’s favour, and distances us from Him. Prophet Muhammad (SAAS) said, 'He who has in his heart the weight of a mustard seed of arrogance shall not enter Paradise.' (Muslim)
