The Blessings of the Hereafter for the humble Believers:-

Surah Al-Qasas/ The Narration

The Blessings of the Hereafter for the humble Believers:-
"That is the home of the Hereafter, We shall assign to those who do not want to exalt themselves in the land nor cause corruption. And the good end is for those who have Taqwa."[28:83]
- Allah tells us that He has made the home of the Hereafter, and its eternal delights which will never change or fade away, for His believing, humble servants who do not rebel against the truth with pride and oppression in the land. They do not exalt themselves above the creatures of Allah, arrogantly oppressing them and spreading corruption among them.
- Ibn Jurayj said:
"those who do not want to exalt themselves in the land" (Arrogance and tyranny), nor cause corruption"(committing sins)
- Ibn Jarir recorded that `Ali said, "If a man wants the straps of his sandals to be better than the straps of his companion's sandals, then he is one of those referred to in this Ayah. This is understood to mean that if his intention is to show off and appear better than others, then that is to be condemned, as it was reported in the Sahih that the Prophet said: 
"It has been revealed to me that you should be humble to the extent that none of you boasts to others or mistreats others."
- But if a person simply likes to look good, then there is nothing wrong with that. It was recorded that a man said: "O Messenger of Allah, I like to have my garment looking good and my shoes looking good -- is this a kind of arrogance'' The Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam said:

"No, for Allah is beautiful and loves beauty..." 

Allahu Akbar! May Allah make us humble, pious and righteous. You are the One who bestows blessings and guidance- You alone!  We are nothing without You, so protect us from pride and arrogance and make us always humble. Ameen
