Does arrogance constitute shirk?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Arrogance is a reprehensible trait. Allah has warned against it in the Holy Quran and has threatened the arrogant with turning them away from His signs. Arrogance is divided into categories: arrogance towards Allah, which is the most severe; arrogance towards the Messenger; and arrogance towards people.
