"Thus does Allah set a seal over the heart of every proud, haughty one" (Quran 40:35). This powerful verse is a reminder of the terrifying loss of faith and goodness that comes from pride - here the Quran states that Allah will "set a seal over the heart" of those who harbor pride and arrogance.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Arrogant and Superior:
Haughty individuals believe they are inherently better than others and act accordingly, often making others feel inadequate or insignificant.
Disdainful and Condescending:
They show a lack of respect or regard for others, viewing them with contempt or scorn.
Proud and Self-Important:
Haughty people are often consumed by their own ego and sense of self-importance, making them boastful and self-centered.
Unfriendly and Aloof:
Their attitude often leads to a cold and detached demeanor, making it difficult for others to connect with them.
Synonyms:
Words like arrogant, conceited, supercilious, and disdainful are often used to describe a haughty person.
In essence, a haughty person is someone who embodies an air of superiority and disdain, making them unlikeable and difficult to be around.
When you're haughty, you have a big attitude and act like you're better than other people. A haughty person acts superior and looks down on others. Haughty people are disdainful, overbearing, prideful, swaggering, and obnoxious.
1. Saiyidina ‘Umar b. Shu‘ab (God be pleased | with him) has reported a tradition of the beloved of the universe, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): ‘On Doomsday, the haughty shall be like the ants. The people on the plain of Doom shall be trampling them underfoot. Fire shall engulf them from four sides. They shall be tortured in an exclusive dungeon of Hell, which is called ‘Bolus’. ‘They shalt be caught in a fiercely burning fire and they shall be given for drink the dirty dark blood taken from the wounds of the denizens of Hell. The inference is that these unfortunate people will be badly disgraced. {(Tirmidhi).
2. Saiyidina Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) observed that according to a Holy tradition (Qudsi tradition is the one which is ascribed to Almighty): “‘Loftiness and Grandeur are two sheets. He who snatches them from Me or tugs at them, I shall throw him into Hell. In other words, these two attributes are exclusively Mine. All Grandeur and Veneration is befitting for My Own Self.”’
(Muslim, Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah).
3. There is a tradition reported by Saiyidina Haritha bin Wahb (God’s pleasure be upon him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) observed: ‘Shall I not inform you about the people of Hell? Every hard-hearted man; every man who has fattened himself with unlawful gains; every man who has adopted a haughty manner — Beware! The man who shall have as little pride or haughtiness in his heart as an iota of a grain. God Almighty shall throw him down on his face into Hellfire.*
(Bukhari, Muslim).
4. A tradition related by Saiyidina Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) states: The Apostle
*Some traditions mention the beggar and the destitute along with the haughty. Asin ‘Tibrani’ it is related that three persons shall not enter heaven: One, the beggar who, despite his poverty, adopts a vain and haughty attitude. Secondly, an old man, who despite his old age, does not give up fornication; Thirdly, the person who adopts humility and observes prayers in a manner as if he were doing a favour to the Almighty. The severity in the case of the beggar and the destitute is all the more because poverty and destitution should make a man polite ; on the other hand if a man js haughty even in poverty ; no one knows how haughty he would be if he were rich.of God (may Allah be pleased with him) observed : ‘Shun pride. Pride is the sin which first of all ruined Satan. Shun greed. Greed is such an evil that it expelled Hadrat Adam (peace be upon him) out of Paradise. Shun envy for envy is such a terrible evil that it induced Qabil to murder Habil.”’ (Ibn ‘Asakir)
The inference is that Satan refused to bow before the Almighty God out of pride ; Adam (peace be upon him) ate the forbidden fruit because of greed ; and Qabil killed his brother out of envy.
