End of Arrogance
تکبر کا انجام
مَا اسْتَوْدَعَ اللهُ امْرَأً عَقْلاً إِلَّا لِيَسْتَنْقِذَهُ بِهِ يَوْماً مَا!
اللہ نے کسی شخص کے پاس عقل بطورِ ودیعت (امانت) نہیں رکھی، مگر اس لیے کہ کسی نہ کسی دن وہ اسے (تباہی سے) بچا لے۔
“Allah has not entrusted any person with intellect except that He may save him by it one day.”
Reflections: Imam Ali ؑ highlights that the **Intellect ($`Aql$)** is a divine trust given to us as a life-saving tool. Arrogance is the act of ignoring this tool and following one’s ego ($Nafs$) instead. When a person is humble and listens to their intellect, it acts as a compass that guides them away from destruction. The “End of Arrogance” is usually a disaster that could have been avoided if the person had simply utilized the intellect Allah deposited within them.
