4a] Is feeling proud of one’sreligion a kind of blameworthy pride?

4a]
But feeling proud becauseof doing acts of obedienceand worship means
feeling happy that one has been enabled to do that and feeling proud
of belonging to people who do that, and praising Allahfor saving him
from shirk and its people, and from sin and its path.
As for looking down on the slaves of Allah and feeling that one is
above them because of acts of obedience that one has done, this is the
worst type of pride and arrogance, and the one who is like this is on
the brink of disaster and thereis a danger that his deeds will be
thrown back at him.
And Allah knows best.
