﴿ ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ وَٱسْتَكْبَرَ ﴾

“and in the end he turns his back [on Our message], and glories in his arrogance,”

The greatest impediment to acceptance of the Truth is a man’s egoism or pride. Those who attain a high status in society do not accept the Truth for the simple reason that, by such acceptance, their greatness will be diminished. In order to cover up their rejection, they try to find defects in the discourse of the preacher of Truth. They try to degrade him by making allegations against him.
