Pride
It Is narrated on the authority of Abdullah b. Mas'ud that the Prophet of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam), observed: He who has in his heart the weight of a mustard seed of pride shall not enter Paradise. A person (amongst his hearers) said: Verily a person loves that his dress should be fine, and his shoes should be fine. He (the Prophet) remarked: Verily, Allaah is Graceful and He loves Grace. Pride is disdaining the truth (out of self-conceit) and contempt for the people. (Muslim)

SubhanaAllah!How brief and self explanatory!!May Allah Bless Prophet saw and his Ummah(us) Just like how he Blessed Ibrahim as and his people!Ameen!..
May Allah Help us to get rid of any sort of pride from our hearts and minds…!!"PRIDE IS DISDAINING THE TRUTH AND CONTEMPT FOR THE PEOPLE"So much to learn and act on…
Ameen…
yes Peace, a wonderdul hadith to learn and act upon insha ALlah..:)
when there is a will, there is a way:)
Seven qualities are considered to be the cause of pride:
-education,knowledge,
-religious piety,
-fame and nobility of one’s family and descendents,
-physical attractiveness, physical strength,
-wealth,
-achievement,
-and the number of ones admirers and followers.
In reality, none of these qualities need to be the causes of arrogance.
On the contrary, they are positive values which every person strives for.
The real cause of arrogance is stupidity, and the inability to comprehend what is offered as knowledge. Yet there is no other medicine but knowledge to cure stupidity.
There is another cause of pride lack of wisdom,emptiness,
fakeness, low self esteem and list goes on .Reading Quran with understanding cures such negative attitudes.
May Allah guide us to the very correct path & make us follows the life of Mohammed s.a.w (P.B.U.H). Let us pray to Allah the almighty to forgive our unaccountable sins by his unending mercy.
May Allah (SWT) enable us to get rid of pride. May Allah (SWT) guide us to the right path and to attain Jannatul Firdouse. Ameen!
may allah guide us all to the right path,and help us get rid of the pride even in the smallest things in life.ameen
