Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"Arrogance and self-admiration and excessive delusion *** and transgressing the ranks of humanity"
Yes, it means that they have arrogance, self-admiration, and delusion about themselves, as if they are the angels and people are mere animals.
"And transgressing the ranks of humanity" to the ranks of Lordship or the angels. Yes, they see themselves as above human beings.
"If this were from beyond sufficiency *** we would have carried the banner of gratitude
But it is from behind every one who lags *** from the rank of faith and excellence"
It means that if this had been from beyond sufficiency, we would have carried the banner of gratitude. But it is from behind every lagging, meaning that this statement is not from sufficiency and competence. If it had been from sufficiency and competence, we would have thanked them. But it is not from sufficiency and competence, but from stubbornness, self-admiration, and arrogance. For this reason, he said:
"But it is from behind every one who lags *** from the rank of faith and excellence".
