The Holy Quran 17:37 — Surah Al-Isra

Arabic text

وَلَا تَمْشِ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مَرَحًا ۖ إِنَّكَ لَن تَخْرِقَ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَلَن تَبْلُغَ ٱلْجِبَالَ طُولًا

Translation

And do not walk haughtily (proudly) on earth (shutting with your heads in the air). You can certainly not tear the earth open (with your strutting), nor can you reach the height of the mountains (by lifting your heads in the air. This proud manner of walking is therefore futile because you cannot achieve anything by it).

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

ولا تمش في الأرض مختالا متكبرا؛ فإنك لن تَخْرِق الأرض بمشيك عليها بهذه الصفة، ولن تبلغ الجبال طولا بخيلائك وفخرك وكبرك.
