Walking with Pride

Abu Huraira reported that Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said that there was a person who used to walk with pride because of his thick hair and fine mantles. He was made to sink in the earth and he would go on sinking in the earth until the Last Hour would come. (Muslim, 5203)

Suhail U.A.E.
  He likes not the proud)  (An-Nahl 16:23)

And the Prophet says,

"Pride is to completely disregard the truth and scorn (looking down upon) the people" (Muslim)

Sometimes a person might be deceived by his/ her knowledge, wealth and property, lineage and ancestry, or worship and be arrogant and boastful.

Al-Hasan Al-Basri advised that: "Do not become proud merely because you worship often, for consider what happened to Iblis after he spent a great deal of time worshipping" (Gems and Jewels)

Pride is among the greatest means of damage to a person's wealth and circumstances. It distances one away from Allah's love and "Whoever has an iota of pride in his/her heart will not enter Paradise" (Muslim).
