The next verse, (NO.37) is a fine touch to those who are arrogantly puffed up with pride:ِ

      ``Walk not in the earth with pride, that you won't cleave the earth, or reach the mountain in height.''

      Pride is something rejected and blamed in the sight of all nations. It dines on vanity and sups on contempt, and as William Wordsworth has composed:ِ

      Pride goes before destruction,

      And an haughty spirit before a fall.

      The verse has not directly pointed to pride and vanity, which is among the most evil characteristics of the unbelievers. It rather implies that the effects of pride will appear in the actions and behaviours of the proud and arrogant. It can be seen even in their manner and style of walking. Qurän forbids Man to walk with pride, and wants him to be humble in all his physical and spiritual movements. When our prophet himself was riding a mount, he would never permit anyone of his disciples to walk besides him. He always sent them before, and then he rode after them. Hazrat Imam Ali (AS) too, swept the room himself, and carried water to his house!

      The last verse objects the superstitious motives of the polytheists, who believed that the angels were the daughters of Allah, and this was when in their population daughters were considered as some sort of a disgrace, and even their lives were strictly under question!
