AN ATOMIC BOMB TO THE ARROGANCE
Consider these words of our Beloved Prophet Muhammed (Peace Be Upon Him)
“If the value of the world was equal to that of the wing of a mosquito by Allah, He would not have allowed any kafir (disbeliever of One God) even a drink of water from it.” -- Sahih Muslim
And now consider the words of science of today which tells us about number of stars in Universe and our planet earth.
“It's also about 10 times as many stars as grains of sand on all the world’s beaches and deserts.”
“The figure -- 7 followed by 22 zeros (7, 0000000000000000000000) or, more accurately, 70 sextillion -- was calculated by a team of stargazers based at the Australian National University. He said there were likely many million more stars in the universe but the 70 sextillion figure was the number visible within range of modern telescopes. “
“The actual number of stars could be infinite he said. “
The universe is so big light from the other side of the universe "hasn't reached us yet,"

See the world in which we live is not even equal to a single grain of Sand. It is not even visible if anybody sees it from the heights of the universe. The size of the world in which we live is so means, then what about our position and status in this world, which contain many giant creations than us in it. We are nothing in this world. We are nothing.
This is being the truth, then from where the human being got the concept of arrogance, pride, harshness, cruelty, merciless characteristic traits. If they understand their weakness and dependability then he will became pious. In order to make a peaceful life, human being must consider the evidences in the earth and the heaven. See what Almighty Allah the Ultimate Creator says about the reason for the arrogance:
“And how many Signs in the heavens and the earth do they pass by? Yet they turn (their faces) away from them!” Al-Quran(12:105)
When Allah talk about the disbeliveers, the arrogant people they turn their faces away from the signs of Almighty Allah in the heavens and the earth. It is the one main cause of arrogance which makes human beings to rebel against their God. And consider the following verses too.
“Assuredly the creation of the heavens and the earth is a greater (matter) than the creation of men: Yet most men understand not.” Al-Quran (40:57)
“Many are the Jinns and men we have made for Hell: They have hearts wherewith they understand not, eyes wherewith they see not, and ears wherewith they hear not. They are like cattle,- nay more misguided: for they are heedless (of warning).” Al-Quran(7:179)
And see what Almighty Allah says about the secret behind the pious people:
Behold! in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of night and day,- there are indeed Signs for men of understanding,-
Al-Quran(3:190)
Men who celebrate the praises of Allah, standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and contemplate the (wonders of) creation in the heavens and the earth, (With the thought): "Our Lord! Not for naught Hast Thou created (all) this! Glory to Thee! Give us salvation from the penalty of the Fire
Al-Quran (3:191)
In these verses Allah says that pious people will say Our Lord! Not for naught Hast Thou created (all) his! Glory to Thee! Give us salvation from the penalty of the Fire. So it’s a must for every human being to consider the signs in the earth and the heaven in order to have peaceful and prosperous life in this world, mainly to come out from the saitan’s teachings of arrogance, cruel mind and to achieve Eternal Salvation.
