do not be arrogant

Allaah says (in a hadith Qudsi): "Greatness (arrogance or cockiness) is my clothes and majesty. Whoever robs one (of them), I throw him into hell (inferno)." (Narrated by Abu Dawood).
hence in this world there's nothing to disombongkan, because pride is only belongs to God, belongs to the Almighty. to the weakness of self-awareness is the best way that we avoid the wrath of God.
something which we are proud of, we will not be able to penetrate the earth and pierce the sky, the gods
prostrate with sincerity and humility.
