Pride and arrogance. Let's talk about pride and arrogance. Now, if I were to define these two words, I can't find any words to define them at all. So let's look and search for them in the dictionary. What the dictionary defines pride : To feel proud at your own or other's achievement. Now let's try arrogant : Someone who thinks that they are better or more important than other people. To differentiate between them seems clear -- for me, but I'm not sure about others. I've been thinking, am I pride or am I arrogant? :( Cause you see, in the Quran, Allah has made it clear to us that arrogant is something we should not practice, cause if we do, Jannah will be far and not near to us. :( "And do not walk upon the earth exultantly. Indeed, you will never tear the earth [apart], and you will never reach the mountains in height." (al-Isra' : 37) I want to change to a better me. InsyaAllah, I am trying. I will not give up. Never again. But, who am I to say such things, when I myself has befallen to the hands of the devil at times? :( Ya Rabb, forgive me for I have sinned. :'( 12:26 PM

Madza ya'ni My life is based on the phrases stated in the Quran, where Allah has told us : 51:56 "And [tell them that] I have not created the invisible beings and men to any end other than that they may [know and] worship Me." and also, 2:30 "Note that occasion, when your Rabb said to the angels: I am going to place a vicegerent on earth. The angels said: "Will You place there one who will make mischief and shed blood while we sing Your praises and glorify Your name?" Allah said: "I know what you know not."" Our purposes of life has been clearly stated in the Quran, So, why do we still to continue live otherwise? Greater people Clearly speaking, these people down here are just wonderful people. Give them a ring-a-ding-ding once in a while! :) Ira (1) Ira (2) Farahin APG (Inche Gabbana) |
