Put aside your pride, Set down your arrogance, And remember your grave. - Ali (ra)

Pride and arrogance are evil qualities that we might possibly be able to get away with in this life. But, once we die, there's nothing left that we can do. Once death overtakes us, then it's too late to set aside our pride and to put down our arrogance. So, let's set aside our pride and put down our arrogance now, today, while we are still breathing, and let's remember our grave often, because that's where we're going to go soon, and only Allah knows how long we'll stay there.
