The Cloaked One · Meccan · Juz 29 · Page 576
He Was Arrogant
ثُمَّ أَدۡبَرَ وَٱسۡتَكۡبَرَ ٢٣
Then turned he away in pride.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Then he turned back and was arrogant.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, he turned from the truth he had understood, turned his back to faith and his face to disbelief; his pride would not let him accept the truth.
Reflect
Let your pride swallow accepting the truth today.
