Bismillah
shuanee just to continue on your line of effort, look at this Ayah and compare the attitude, Sobhan Allah, Truth Sayer Is Allah:
"Verily, you will find the strongest among men in enmity to the believers (Muslims) the Jews and those who are polytheists,
and you will find the nearest in love to the believers (Muslims) those who say: "We are Christians." That is because amongst them are priests and monks, and they are not proud
." (Quran 5:82)
The second underlined part would be better translated as they are not arrogant. Arrogance is closely associated with non believing.
"Surely, those who are with your Lord (angels) are never too proud to perform acts of worship to Him, but they glorify His Praise and prostrate before Him." (Quran 7:206)
<b>"Truly, when it was said to them: Laa ilaaha ill-Allah "(none has the right to be worshipped but Allah)," they puffed themselves up with pride (i.e. denied it)." (Quran 37:35)
