Are a heavy-handed approach, love of fame, and people's attention considered arrogance, and how can hidden arrogance be identified?
Arrogance, as defined by the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, is: "rejecting the truth and despising people," meaning: pushing away the truth and denying it out of haughtiness, and belittling people. Therefore, heaviness in interactions, love of fame, and eagerness for people's attention are not considered arrogance as long as they do not lead to rejecting the truth or despising people.
Among the characteristics of the arrogant are: self-elevation in gatherings, self-praise and boasting, loving for people to stand up for them, refraining from visiting the poor, and not engaging in manual work in their home or carrying their own belongings.
