Imaan, Arrogance and Jannah
Ibn Taymiyyah
Shaykhul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah) was asked:
Regarding his statement,
“The one who possesses an iota of Kibr in his (spiritual) heart (intention, consciousness) shall not enter al-Jannah”
Is this hadîth specific only to the believers (Mu‘minîn) or (is it specific only to the) unbelievers (Kufâr)? If we were to say that it is specific for the Believers then (is not) our statement trivial considering (the fact that) the believers shall enter al-Jannah (Paradise) due to their Imân . If, on the other hand, we were to say that the hadîth is specific for the unbelievers then what is the relevance of the statement (since it is already known that the unbelievers shall not gain admission to al-Jannah)?
He (rahimahullah) answered: (Another) authentically reported wording of (this particular version of the) Hadîth is,
“The one who possesses half of mustard seed of Kibr in his heart shall not be granted admission to Jannah; and the one who possesses half of a mustard seed of Imân shall not enter the (Eternal) Fire.” [1]
Kibr that openly opposes and negates Imân results in the banishment of its possessor from entering al-Jannah as is found in His (Allâh, the Most High) statement:
“And your Lord said: “Invoke Me, [i.e. believe in My Oneness (Islâmic Monotheism)] (and ask Me for anything) I will respond to your (invocation). Verily! Those who scorn (Yastakbirûn – Have Kibr) My worship [i.e. do not invoke Me, and do not believe in My Oneness, (Islâmic Monotheism)] they will surely enter Hell in humiliation!” Ghâfir 40:60
This is the Kibr of Iblîs (the Devil), Pharaoh and all the others who possessed Kibr that invalidated Imân . This is also the Kibr that the Jews possess and those whom Allâh has described to us by saying:
“Is it that whenever there came to you a Messenger with what you yourselves desired not, you grew arrogant? Some, you disbelieved and some, you killed.” Al-Baqarah 2: 87
