THE LOT OF THE ARROGANT

                        IN THE HEREAFTER












                        part from defining who the arrogant are, Allah also
                        informs us about the end the people with
              A Pharaonic arrogance will meet in the hereafter.
              One verse reads as follows:
                  When he is told to have fear of Allah, he is seized by
                  pride which drives him to wrongdoing. Hell will be
                  enough for him! What an evil resting-place! (Surat al-
                  Baqara: 206)
                  As we are to understand from the Qur' an, the
              recompense of those who were too proud to worship Allah,
              the Almighty, is Hell. The related verses are as follows:
                  ...Those who are too proud to worship Me will enter
                  Hell abject. (Surah Ghafir: 60)
                  That is because you exulted on the earth, without any
                  right to do so; and strutted about. Enter the gates of
                  Hell, remaining in it timelessly, for ever. How evil is the
                  abode of the arrogant! (Surah Ghafir: 75-76)
