Struggling with Pride as a New Muslim?

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. I hope you're all in the best of health and iman. Eid Mubarak to you all, may Allah (SWT) accept our good deeds. Since embracing Islam, I've been dealing with a real test regarding arrogance. Alhamdulillah, my faith in Allah is always my priority, yet some people describe me as being prideful and self-centered. I also worry that my intentions (niyyah) in everyday matters might not be pure, even if the actions themselves aren't acts of worship. Honestly, I'm not sure how to start fixing this. Any advice from the community would be a blessing. Jazakum Allahu khayran.

The fact you recognize this struggle is huge! Allah doesn't change a condition until we try to change ourselves. Keep making dua.

May Allah guide you. Remember, knowledge is a cure for pride. Maybe study the seerah more? It helps.

It's a journey, not a destination. Be gentle with yourself.

Pride is a sneaky one. Sometimes just saying 'Alhamdulillah' for the smallest things helps shift focus back to Allah.

Salaam. Try to do small acts of service for others in secret. It humbles the soul. Praying for you!
