Lesson
                                                              
A proud is found inside the human being, which prevents him from accepting the word of any other individual; that is called `stubbornness or obstinacy. Many people do their loss due to such stubbornness. Satan considers it best source of misleading the mankind. It is the effect of this characteristic that the humankind does not acknowledge superiority of any other person, but wants to stick to his own hits. That is why, when any individual is enraged due to any reason, then big problem comes before the advisers. The Devil seduces the human being every time that: You are right but those are wrong who cause to understand you.

Behold: What was answer of the arrogant chieftains of Madian, the nation of Prophet Shu-‘aib (blessing on Him)? It is commanded in this verse that proud chieftains of the nation of Prophet Shu-‘aib (blessing on Him) said to Him after hearing the advice from Prophet Shu-‘aib (blessing on Him): If you will speak more invigoratingly, then either we shall drive you and your believers out from our township or you will be returned to our religion violently. Prophet Shu-aib (blessing on Him) said: We consider these matters as poison for us, which you have assumed, even though, will you cause to drink us the cup of poison forcibly?

Allah Almighty has rescued us from those wicked deeds and habits, which have been spread into you. If we shall choose intentionally your religion and way of life, it will be meant that, which we have been advising you till now, those all were wrong. And it will be as though “we have invented a lie against Allah Almighty by saying that our advice was the words of God”. We repent from committing such kind of any sin. You should think never about it that we shall come back toward your religion. This haughtiness and vain pride into the human being, due to which he rejects the advice and commands of Messengers (blessing on Them), is the foundation of infidelity and disbelief. Islam is quite opposite of this nature. It aims: To be ready every time to accept any advice and it is the origin of the Belief.
