Superiority Complex Leads to Evil CONTENTS

SUPERIORITY COMPLEX LEADS TO EVIL A great attribute of the Angels is gratitude, which leads to positivity, while Satan is guilty of ingratitude. He felt himself superior to Adam. The superiority complex is at the root of all evil. W hen God created Adam, He commanded Iblis, the Chief of the Genies to prostrate himself before Adam, but Iblis refused to do so. This was because he felt himself to be superior to Adam. This regarding of himself as being superior was the crime due to which Satan chose not to follow God’s commandment and was held rejected. (Quran 7:12) It is this feeling which is at the root of all evil. Much of the negativity in human life is ultimately the result of this self-styled superiority complex. When someone does not acknowledge the truth, it is because he holds the person from whom he receives knowledge of the truth to be inferior to himself.
