Its a given that in this world some people are blessed with more money than others are… and as long as its halal kamai, its all good.Some work for it, some inherit it and some have a combination of both…this goes for rizq and looks too…some are blessed with naturally good figures and fast metabolism and nice features, while others have to put in more effort (whether makeup, or exercising etc).
I believe everyone has the capacity to be happy and content with what they have.
Something that I think about–ppl who brag about how much money/property they have, how good looking they are, all the designer outfits they wear…dont’ they realize how stupid they look? I get it–you’re rich, good looking…whatever.
And trust me…I know people who have worked VERY hard for what they have, whether its buying their own home, zevar, a hot body etc, but they’re down to earth and don’t brag about it, and they certainly do not use it to put others down or make others feel ashamed for having less…
Ppl who put others down and brag about their own wealth…don’t they ever feel ashamed? Or is it just that we, who may have “less” are just jealous? double rolleyes
Sara, I think almost every person is guilty of ghuroor (including myself).
Forget about wealth and looks, people can boast about their education, their career, their family, how much others love them, and even their piety. No one is immune from ghuroor, all we can do is hope to recognize the failing in our self and seek to be more humble.

thas a bit of an oxymoron isn’t it? a truly humble person will not brag…
okay to some extent..there is a difference between being proud of your hard work versus bragging about something. If I work hard for something, like buy a house, or lose 70 lbs I shouldn’t feel like I have to hide it..esp since it was done with hard and honest work.
Heck I bought a laptop , which is the most major purchase i’ve ever made..Perhaps someone can consider that as bragging, when I dont.
Though i agree with you, the problem is when we think we’re better, and use that “pride” to put someone else down and make an attempt to make THEM feel ashamed for not having the same lifestyle or things.
Now bragging is when the other person gets ticked off. You could tell me about your brand new laptop but it may have a tone of excitement not arrogance so that’s not bragging.
The whole point of bragging is to make the other person feel like shyte, so yeah they are idiots for doing so and probably feel no shame in it. Sad really.

Have you never heard those people who talk ad nauseum about how "good" they are and all of the naikis they've done for others? They'll go on and on about how humble they are because they've not asked for credit for their good deeds. To talk about it to others is to boast about it. A truly humble person does not talk about themselves. They seek a reward for their actions only from Allah and not from people.
are just jealous? double rolleyes
