Superiority Complex Leads to Evil CONTENTS

English book, p. 463

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

To Whom is God’s Mercy Denied On the contrary, one who is modest and humble will see himself as what he is in actuality. Such a person is ready, as it were, to accept the truth in advance. When the truth is conveyed to him, he finds no obstacle in recognizing it. He immediately accepts it and bows to it. When it comes to accepting guidance, arrogance is the greatest stumbling block. Indeed, arrogance is a crime in the eyes of God. This comes within the jurisdiction of God: all greatness belongs to God alone. A person’s position as compared to God is but that of a humble servant. To one who accepts his actual position, God turns and grants him His blessings, whereas one who does not accept his real position can never be held deserving of God’s mercy. The successful person is one who is free from arrogance. Conversely, one who is blemished by arrogance will be a failure and then nothing can save him from the wrath of God.
