CONCEIT
Conceit is one of the mental defects that the Islamic education has treated and purified the
mentalities from its germs. Reality of conceit:
Ethicists mention that the reality of conceit is the minds resting to what accords the fancies
confusedly and conceitedly. He is deceitful that whoever esteems his present or fated success.
They also disclose that deceit is composed of two matters:
First: esteeming the vile as good.
Second: the fondness of lusts and rage.[1]
Warning against conceit:
Islam has warned against conceit because it ruins the minds and causes sufferings and leads to
commit the forbidden matters. God says:
Let not this world’s life deceive you, nor let the arch‐deceiver deceive you in respect of Allah.
But you caused yourselves to fall into temptation, and you waited and doubted and vain desires
deceived you till the threatened punishment of Allah cane, while the arch‐deceiver deceive you
about Allah.
The Prophet (s) said, “How excellent the sleep and the nature of the courteous are! They excel the
staying up and the efforts of the idiot. A bit of piety and certitude is preferable to the conceited
even if it is as much as this earth.”[2]
Imam as‐Sadiq (a) said, “The conceited people are poor in this world and grieved in the Hereafter.
They sold the best for the worst. Do not be conceited by yourselves. Your riches and health may
allure you, thinking you will persist. The long age, the children, and the associates will not save
you. Your beauty, wish, and gaining the target may allure you, assuming your being sincere and
true. Your remorse for delinquency in worship may allure you, while God realizes that your heart
has the opposite. You may undertake excessively for adoration while God wants mere sincerity.
You may take pride in your knowledge and lineage while you are unaware of the unseen damages.
