Too good for this world or not good enough? Reflections on arrogance and insecurity

Arrogance & Insecurity in the Muslim Community | Pondering at the Pond

🕌 Arrogance is Ibleesism – a dangerous mindset that blinds us to truth, divides our communities, and distances us from Allah. In this episode of Pondering at the Pond, I sit with my son Sharjeel to discuss the two sides of the same coin: arrogance and insecurity in the Muslim ummah.

🚨 Have we become a community obsessed with religious superiority? Do we judge others—Muslim and non-Muslim—while ignoring our own flaws? From online debates to everyday interactions, we explore how arrogance manifests in our behavior and how insecurity fuels it.

🔑 Key points discussed:

- The illusion of religious supremacy: Do we assume Jannah is guaranteed?
- The harsh treatment of domestic workers and non-Muslims in some cultures
- Quranic verses that warn us about arrogance and its consequences
- The connection between arrogance, insecurity, and collective Muslim decline
- How performative religiosity has overtaken ethical conduct
- The solution: True humility and leaving judgment to Allah

💬 Drop a comment below! How do you see arrogance and insecurity playing out in our communities? Let's reflect and grow together this Ramadan.
