Difference Between Arrogance (Takabbur) And Feeling Of Superiority
So, you’re saying that having authority or superiority in one thing is an objective reality. But we can’t perceive anyone as inferior or less valuable than us because we don’t have an idea of their overall personal value. While we may have authority in one field, another person may be better than us in other aspects. For example, if I give an extreme example, even a king would speak respectfully to his people. Because in a way, he might be significant, but we don’t know about other aspects. Am I right? So, arrogance also appears to be an objective flaw because we don’t really know what kind of person someone is, so considering them inferior is foolish. Right? That’s why even a Prophet, when they thought they were the best in knowledge, was given a reality check.
