Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Ibn `Abbas said that, `proud', means insolent. Qatadah
said that,
﴿الْمَسِيحُ أَن يَكُونَ عَبْداً للَّهِ
وَلاَ الْمَلَـئِكَةُ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ﴾
(Al-Masih will never be too proud to be a servant of Allah nor the angels who are
near (to Allah).) ﴿they﴾ will never be arrogant, Allah then said,
﴿وَمَن يَسْتَنْكِفْ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهِ
وَيَسْتَكْبِرْ فَسَيَحْشُرُهُمْ إِلَيهِ جَمِيعاً﴾
(And whosoever rejects His worship and is proud, then He will gather them all together
unto Himself.) on the Day of Resurrection. Then, Allah will judge between them with
His just judgment that is never unjust or wrong.
﴿فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ
الصَّـلِحَـتِ فَيُوَفِّيهِمْ أُجُورَهُمْ وَيَزيدُهُمْ مِّن فَضْلِهِ﴾
(So, as for those who believed and did deeds of righteousness, He will give their
(due) rewards, and more out of His bounty.) Allah will award them their full rewards
for their righteous actions and will give them more of His bounty, kindness, ample
mercy and favor.
﴿وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ اسْتَنكَفُواْ
وَاسْتَكْبَرُواْ﴾
(But as for those who refused His worship and were proud, ) out of arrogance, they
refused to obey and worship Him,
﴿فَيُعَذِّبُهُمْ عَذَاباً أَلُيماً
وَلاَ يَجِدُونَ لَهُمْ مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَلِيّاً وَلاَ نَصِيراً﴾
(He will punish them with a painful torment. And they will not find for themselves
besides Allah any protector or helper.) In another Ayah, Allah said,
﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ
عَنْ عِبَادَتِى سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَخِرِينَ﴾
(Verily! Those who scorn My worship, they will surely enter Hell in humiliation,)
degradation, disgrace and dishonor, for they were arrogant and rebellious.
﴿يَـأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ
قَدْ جَآءَكُمْ بُرْهَانٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَأَنزَلْنَآ إِلَيْكُمْ نُوراً مُّبِيناً
- فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ بِاللَّهِ وَاعْتَصَمُواْ بِهِ فَسَيُدْخِلُهُمْ فِى
رَحْمَةٍ مَّنْهُ وَفَضْلٍ وَيَهْدِيهِمْ إِلَيْهِ صِرَطاً مُّسْتَقِيماً ﴾
(174. O mankind! Verily, there has come to you a convincing proof from your Lord;
and We sent down to you a manifest light.) (175. So, as for those who believed in
Allah and held fast to ﴿depend on﴾ Him, He will admit them to His mercy and grace
(i.e. Paradise), and guide them to Himself by a straight path.)
