What Is Kibr?
Kibr is the name of a psychic state in which a person feels a
sense of superiority and behaves high-handedly with others. Its signs
are discernible in his actions and its symptoms are clearly noticed by
others by which they know that he is proud.
Kibr is something different from
‘ujb, and, as mentioned earlier, this vice is the offspring and fruit of the tree of
‘ujb. ‘Ujb consists of self-love and conceit, and the meaning of
kibr is
to consider oneself superior to others. When someone perceives a merit
in himself and is overcome by a sense of pleasure, exultation, and
vanity, that state is called
‘ujb.
