Hazrat Shaikh Moulana Muhammad Zakariyya (rahmatullahi ‘alaihi) while addressing the audience in his majlis once mentioned:
“Beloved brothers! Let me inform you about the evil traits of pride, jealousy and haughtiness. These evil traits have no limits and are extremely serious in the sight of Allah Ta’ala. Pride, jealousy and haughtiness are among those sins whose punishment is extremely severe. These are connected to the spiritual being of a person. There are some sins which relate to the physical being of a person, e.g. one’s lust and carnal desires. The punishment for getting involved in such sins are indeed detrimental, however they are not as severe as getting involved in these spiritual maladies (i.e. the sin of pride, haughtiness and jealousy). (Malfoozaate Hazrat Shaikh 1/70)
