    43. Therefore you should make it your duty to rectify your inner intentions and beliefs which are concealed. Your deeds too should be proper which are evident. Your physical appearance and your character, too, should be like the believers, and safeguard yourselves from sins that are apparent and obvious, and may Allah Almighty grant us guidance to safeguard ourselves from sins that are not seen. 

    44. This means no matter whether arrogance is displayed by the infidels or the believer, it is disliked by Allah Almighty It should he remembered that pride can be true as well as false. 

    Therefore one of the attributes of Allah Almighty is MUTAKABBIR - the Majestic. But pride is a name always given to false conceit and vain glory. When in battle against the infidels fighting with pride is an act of worship, while displaying arrogance and conceit against your fellow believer is forbidden.

    Arrogance in presence of Allah Almighty and  the Holy Prophet is an act of  infidelity and apostasy. Here, the third type of arrogance is signified. The infidels of Arabia were diseased with this type of arrogance. In the court of Allah Almighty humility and lowliness is accepted.
