The Greatest Cause of Denying the Truth: Arrogance
From this sentence, it is understood that the greatest obstacle in the path of accepting the truth is arrogance or one's own pride. Other reasons for not accepting the truth also fall under this category. Just as the original crime of Iblis was also arrogance, even though he presented several arguments in support of his stance. Similarly, disbelievers may give various reasons for refusing to accept the truth, mock the signs of Allah, or challenge the punishment of Allah, but at the root of all these is this very arrogance or pride. Therefore, this is a greater crime than all other crimes. That is why, instead of mentioning the separate crimes of all groups, only this crime has been named, which is found as a common trait among all groups.
