Never praise yourself!

Never praise yourself!



Umar bin al-Khattaab (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
من قال: انه عالم فهو جاهل, و من قال: انه مؤمن فهو كافر, و من قال: انه في الجنة فهو في النار
“Whoever says he is an alim (learned person) then he is ignorant, and
whoever says he is a believer then he is a kaafir, and
whoever says he is in paradise then he is in the fire.”
