don’t be too proud to worship
Allah says: “There is nothing in their chests except pride, which they will never reach” (Ghafir: 56)
And He says: “Call upon Me, I will answer you. Truly those who are too proud to worship Me will enter Hell in humiliation” (Ghafir: 60)
Pride blocks us from prayer and from following the Prophet ﷺ.
When we see ourselves as no one, it becomes easy to bow, to worship, and to find peace.
