6 Recipes from Imam Al-Ghazali to Avoid Arrogance, a Despicable Attitude Condemned by Allah SWT

The translation of "Pengertian Ujub" to English is "Understanding of Ujub".

"Ujub is an excessive feeling of admiration and pride in oneself. This occurs when someone feels that they are more special, more valuable, or better than others without realizing that all those abilities and advantages come from Allah SWT. Ujub is an inner attitude that is not always visible in actions, but resides in the heart and mind of a person."

"Meanwhile, arrogance, or in Arabic called kibr, is an attitude that shows arrogance and looks down on others. Arrogance is usually more visible in actions and words compared to ujub, which is more internal."

The translation of "Contoh Ujub" to English is "Example of Ujub".

"Feeling very smart and not needing advice from others. Proud of the worship performed and feeling that the deeds are surely accepted by Allah without considering the sincerity and acceptance from Allah. Considering oneself more righteous or better than others just because of certain advantages possessed."

Here is the translation of the provided text while preserving the HTML tags: "Belittling others because one feels richer, smarter, or more influential. Rejecting the truth or advice from others because one feels more knowledgeable or more powerful. Treating others disrespectfully because one feels of a higher social status."

The translation of "Dalil yang Mengutuk Sikap Sombong" to English is "Evidence that Condemns Arrogant Attitude."

Allah SWT says in Surah Luqman verse 18: "And do not turn your face away from people (out of arrogance) and do not walk upon the earth exultantly. Indeed, Allah does not like every self-deluded boaster."

The translation of "Hadits Nabi" to English is "Hadith of the Prophet."

Rasulullah SAW said: \

The translation of "Bahaya Ujub dan Sombong" to English is "The Dangers of Vanity and Arrogance."

"Ujub and arrogance can damage social relationships and create disharmony within society. This attitude can also prevent a person from receiving the grace and guidance of Allah SWT. Ujub makes someone feel no need to improve themselves, while arrogance closes the door for others to approach and provide good advice."

The translation of "Resep Imam Al-Ghazali untuk Menghindari Sombong" to English is "Imam Al-Ghazali's Recipe for Avoiding Arrogance."

Imam Al-Ghazali in his book Bidayatul Nihayah mentions ujub as a chronic disease. Those afflicted by this disease feel themselves to be far more noble, thus tending to belittle others. Quoting from the NU Online page, Imam Al-Ghazali warns about the dangers of ujub. To avoid this disease, Imam Al-Ghazali has five remedies.

Here’s the translation of the provided text while preserving the HTML tags: "1. Do Not Underestimate Children
When Dream friends meet children, do not underestimate them. Honor them as you would honor adults. Because children have not yet sinned, they are better than adults.
2. Honor the Elderly
When meeting elderly people, honor them because they have lived longer than us. It is also possible that their worship has been longer than that of the younger ones. So consider that older people have worshiped Allah SWT before us, and thus their deeds may carry greater rewards."

"3. Honoring the Scholars"

"When Dream friends meet knowledgeable (alim) people, consider them more noble than us because they possess much knowledge. Strive to regard knowledgeable people as having received a gift that we have not obtained, having reached what we have not achieved, and they know what we do not know."

"4. Do Not Feel Better Than a Fool"

The recipe of Imam Al-Ghazali to avoid the fourth arrogance is not to feel better than foolish people. When seeing foolish people, it is better to consider them more noble than ourselves. Because they commit sins in ignorance, while we commit sins in a state of knowledge.

"5. Do Not Feel Better Than Evil People"

The next recipe from Ima Al-Ghazali to avoid arrogance is by not feeling superior when seeing wicked people. Because we do not know, perhaps one day they will repent for their mistakes. Moreover, it is also possible that we are better than them. It could be that one day we ourselves will do evil. Na'udzubillahi mindzalik!

"6. Praying for Non-Believers"

"If Dream friends meet non-believers, then say in your heart that one day they may receive guidance from Allah. With that guidance, they will embrace Islam so that all their sins are forgiven by Allah SWT."

Here is the translated text with the HTML tags preserved: "Thus, that is the understanding of ujub or arrogance complete with Imam Al-Ghazali's recipe to avoid arrogance. Based on the advice of Imam Al-Ghazali, we come to know that he teaches us to always be humble. We should not feel better than others, because if that feeling resides in our hearts and minds, it will actually destroy our faith in Allah SWT."
