It is narrated that the Prophet (saw) has said: One who has even a particle of pride in his heart, shall not enter paradise. (Muslim).
Pride comes when you see your intelligence, wealth, friends,influence, titles and life as your own achievements, instead of as gifts from ALLAH, the Al-Mighty. When you finally view them as responsibilities that you must fulfill, you will be thankful for these gifts, and be afraid that you will be unable to fulfill them. The syukur and fear (khauf) will drown away the pride.
Read not to contradict and confute, not to believe and take for granted, not to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider. Inhale positive, exhale negative
