It really piss me off when i deal with arrogant people who believe that they are better than others because they are prettier, richer,or more educated.
They believe that they got it all.
Arrogance has different aspects like:
Racism: in 21 st century, i still see people who differentiate others based on skin color.
It happened once that my relative,who is btw black, called people with darker skin slaves, i got furious and asked him how can he still hold this idea when Islam empathizes that we all God slaves and no one is better than other except with religiosity and what made it worse that he himself is BLack
Arrogance was Satan biggest sin because he refused to obey Allah's orders because he believed that he is better than Adam (SW) only because he was created from fire but Adam (SW) was created from dust.
No one said that being created from fire is better than being created from dust but his ignorance blinded him
Atheism: arrogance can lead to atheism when one believes that he too smart to believe in something while not seeing it
so if you don't see me now while i am posting, then i am not existent to you, makes a lot of sense :S
Ignorance: because arrogant people are superficial, so most of the time they ignore the core value of the human because of superficial features.
there are a lot other aspects of arrogance but those are the ones i met recently.
My grandma, May she RIP, used to pray "اللهم علينا ووطى من أنفسنا"
My advice for myself and anyone who is thinking that he/she is better than anyone else for whatever reason to remember that we are from dust and to dust we return and what would matter then our deeds.
whether you are pretty , rich or educated, all that can go in a blink of an eye and then you would find people who look down at you exactly the way you looked down at others.
The prophet PBUH said that no one has an atom's weight of arrogance in his heart will enter paradise.
p.s. i love that tiger, very beautiful and strong

actually the one who refered to darker skin ppl as slaves is from my sudanese part, and he refered to the southern ppl, imagine how much racist is he, i told him then they have every right when they want to separate the south from the north, because i am sure they are also treated them as slaves too.
exactly we r all human.
