Man is contumacious.
A human being is Allah’s most beautiful creature, which Allah has created purposefully. Allah showered His blessings on man by giving him knowledge and a perfect physique, but man is contumacious and forgets all of His blessings.
Man forgets that all the things he has got are from Allah; he becomes proud of himself and considers himself powerful that he can do anything without assistance from others. Man forgets and exceeds his limits in the arrogance of being capable of doing anything; that is why Allah has called man cruel in the Holy Quran. He doesn’t recall that he had to return to Allah on a specific day.
