pride

Narrated Abdullah bin Mas'ud: Allah's Messenger Sallalahu'alaihi wa salaam said, "Whoever has pride in his heart equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant) shall not enter Paradise," A person (amongst the audience) said, "Verily, a person loves that his dress should be beautiful, and his shoes should be beautiful." The Prophet Sallalahu'alihi wa salaam remarked, "Verily, Allaah is the Most Beautiful and He loves beauty.
Pride is to completely disregard the truth, and to scorn
(to look down upon) the people."
(Sahih Muslm, Book of Faith, Vol.1, Hadith No.164)



"Invite all to the way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching;
And consult with them in ways that are best and most gracious."[16:125]
