Self-Amazement and Arrogance

Mohammed HijabWhat do you dislike most about your personality and tell us why? The vanity. Okay. The self-amazement. There is a difference between...

HostTell me what's the difference.

Mohammed HijabThe difference, according to, and also according to many other scholars, they say that doesn't require an object. So you can just be looking at yourself in the mirror and you can be like self-amazed.

HostIf you look like me, yeah.

Mohammed HijabI'm sure you don't have this issue.

HostYeah, yeah. The famous story of, you know the word narcissist? Yeah. It comes from this guy called Narcissus when he looked into the water and he was so impressed with what he saw.

Mohammed HijabSay okay. So his name was Narcissus.

HostYeah. Narcissus. Yeah, that's where it comes from. Yeah. So the Prophet described it as that is basically...

Mohammed HijabRejecting the truth.

HostRejecting the truth and belittling people.

Mohammed HijabI do belittle people, but I don't think the people that the Sharia is intending here, if that makes sense. I don't know if I, with Muslims, I don't really have that much of an issue so much.

HostIt's like the companion in the battle where he was walking arrogantly and the companion said, "Allah hates his walk," and the Prophet said, "Yes, not in this situation." Yes. Exactly.

Mohammed HijabIn this situation, it's different.

HostBecause our line of work is we're having to deal with enemies of Islam too much actually.

Mohammed HijabAnd so if you see a police person or a military man in action, you'll get the impression that they're violent because that's their line of work.

HostYeah, yeah, exactly.

Mohammed HijabBut it's not really who they are. That's actually very important.
