Why do we walk in arrogance on this earth?

Man comes from a drop of semen and leaves as a piece of dust. He doesn`t know when he came and he doesn`t know when he`s leaving, yet he walks on the earth thinking he knows everything.
-Ali ibn Abu Talib via Islam 2011

Arrogance, the mother of all evils

Arrogance is one of the characteristics of Iblees, so whoever wants to be arrogant should realize that he is acquiring a characteristic of the devils, and that he is not acquiring a characteristic of the noble angels who obeyed their Lord and fell down prostrate. Moreover, arrogance may be the cause of a person being deprived of Paradise and may mean that the Lord of Glory will not even look at him, as it says in the following two ahaadeeth:

It was narrated from 'Abd-Allaah ibn Mas'ood that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "No one who has an atom's-weight of arrogance in his heart will enter Paradise." A man said, "O Messenger of Allaah, what if a man likes his clothes and his shoes to look good?" He said, "Allaah is Beautiful and loves beauty. Arrogance means rejecting the truth and looking down on people."

For those who are proud and arrogant...

Alas the merriment of this life distorts reality to those who live in ignorance of the past

What ye wonders?...with all the laughter and glitter in this life, not for once reckoning the consequences of thy actions and the passing of souls in ye lives to the delight and merriment of thy world! What sorrow be in store for them and fools they must be to think, this is all the world has to offer? The passing of souls yet to them is one in the same when alive - no difference, no recognition, love nor respect.

Lo! this generation do not ponder the previous generations who have preceeded us, for who perished from the very earth you walk on, boast, be arrogant, live your earthly desires to the fullest. The dead are not remembered anymore, for they are with their Lord and we will follow them soon enough. - RSA
