[16].Surah An-Nahl [The Bees] : Ayat 22-23


Ayat 22. Your Ilâh (God) is One Ilah (God Allah, none has the right to be worshipped but He). But for those who believe not in the Hereafter, their hearts deny (the faith in the Oneness of Allah), and they are proud.
Ayat 23. Certainly, Allah knows what they conceal and what they reveal. Truly, He likes not the proud. 

Hazrat Harithah bin Wahb (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) saying, "Shall I not inform you about the people of Jannah? It is every person who is, modest and humble (before Allah), a person who is accounted weak and is looked down upon but if he adjures Allah, Allah will certainly give him what he desires. Now shall I not inform you about the inmates of Hell? It is every violent, impertinent and proud man". [Al-Bukhari Book 06, Chapter 60, Hadith # 440]. 


Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah An-Nahl Ayat 23.Truly, He likes not the proud. This Hadith tells us about distinction of such weak, poor and secluded persons who do not have any important position in society but are so eminent in the realm of piety that, out of their utmost trust in Allah, if they take an oath for something, Almighty Allah fulfills their oath. Thus, this Hadith highlights the importance of modesty and condemns pride, miserliness and lust for name and fame.
