Lo que el islam enseña sobre El orgullo y la arrogancia
Según el islam, El orgullo y la arrogancia se considera Pecado grave.
La arrogancia (kibr) es uno de los pecados más graves en el islam. Iblís (Satanás) fue expulsado del Paraíso por negarse a inclinarse ante Adán por orgullo. El Profeta Muhammad dijo que nadie con el peso de un átomo de orgullo en su corazón entrará al Paraíso.

In Islam, arrogance (kibr) is the sin of Satan himself. When Allah commanded the angels to bow before Adam, Iblis (Satan) refused — not out of disbelief in Allah, but out of pride. He considered himself superior because he was created from fire while Adam was created from clay. This origin story makes arrogance uniquely demonic in Islamic theology. The Prophet Muhammad gave a precise definition: pride is 'denying the truth and looking down on people.' Islam makes a distinction between kibr (arrogance, which is sinful) and reasonable self-respect (which is healthy). Loving beautiful things, wearing nice clothes, and having self-confidence are not arrogance. Arrogance is specifically the belief that you are inherently better than others and the refusal to accept truth when it contradicts your self-image.

- Examine yourself honestly — where does pride show up in your life? In your achievements? Your appearance? Your knowledge? Your religious devotion?
- Muslim: Remember that arrogance was the sin of Iblis. Practice saying 'Astaghfirullah' (I seek forgiveness from Allah) daily. Serve those below your social status.
- Find someone to be honest with about your struggles — pride thrives in isolation and secrecy.
- Serve in ways that receive no recognition. Volunteer behind the scenes. The practice of hidden service kills pride.
Book of Repentance (Sahih Muslim)
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said Allah rejoices more when you return than a man who finds water in the desert. Islamic tradition holds that tawbah is always accepted for those who sincerely seek it.

Is self-confidence the same as pride?
No.
No. All three faiths distinguish between healthy self-respect (recognizing your God-given worth and abilities) and sinful pride (believing you are inherently superior to others or independent of God). Confidence says 'I can do this.' Pride says 'I am better than you.'
What about taking pride in your work or children?
Being pleased with accomplishment or your children's achievements is natural and good.
