The Third Talk Jealous & Proud have
nothing to do with heaven
Hazrat Ameer al Momineen (a.s.) says in the Sermon
of Qazeaa in the Nahj al Balagha:
' O people! Satan has rendered himself accursed because
of his jealousy. Beware, you too might get involved
in jealousy meet the same fate as Satan. Allah banished
Satan from the Heaven because of his jealousy. He earned
the displeasure and ire of Allah because of his pride
and jealousy. How will you expect to achieve Heaven
if you too are proud and jealous! When the mentor of
the angels, Iblees, was sent out of the Heaven because
of his pride and jealousy, how can ordinary mortals
like you dream of entering the Heaven if they practice
these undesirable traits. "
Satan was busy supplicating to Allah for long years
but for one act of pride he earned the displeasure of
Allah to be banished from the Heaven for all time. It
must be remembered, therefore, that pride and greatness
is only for Allah! Allah says,' Magnificence and Greatness
only suit Me! You humans! What use your bragging? Conceit
and pride are not your raiment. Talking big doesn't
suit you. All men in the eyes of Allah are beggars and
needy. Allah says,' Worship Me that there is no god
other than Me!'
If man becomes proud and conceited, he will become a
partner of Satan!
