Allah Most High said:
“Indeed, Allah does not love those who are arrogant and boastful.”
Surah al-Nisā’, 36

“When his people said to him, ‘Do not exult. Indeed, Allah does not love the exultant.’”
Surah al-Qasas, 76

These three matters, together with patiently restraining oneself from transgression in the pursuit of desire, encompass the essential principles of this subject. A person faces both what he loves and desires and what he hates and dislikes. He seeks the former through love and desire, and repels the latter through hatred and aversion. When he obtains the former or wards off the latter, this brings him joy and delight; when the latter befalls him or the former is lost, he experiences sorrow. Thus, when love and desire arise, he needs patience to refrain from the transgression to which they lead; when anger and aversion arise, he needs patience to withstand their aggression; when joyful, he needs patience to refrain from transgression; and when calamity strikes, he needs patience to refrain from despairing over it.

The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, mentioned the two foolish, sinful sounds: the sound that leads to transgression in joy, until a person becomes exultant
