لَنْ يَسْتَنكِفَ الْمَسِيحُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَبْدا ً لِلَّهِ وَلاَ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ وَمَنْ يَسْتَنكِفْ عَنْ عِبَادَتِه ِِ وَيَسْتَكْبِرْ فَسَيَحْشُرُهُمْ إِلَيْهِ جَمِيعا ً
Lan Yastankifa Al-Masīĥu 'An Yakūna `Abdāan Lillāhi Wa Lā Al-Malā'ikatu Al-Muqarrabūna Wa Man Yastankif `An `Ibādatihi Wa Yastakbir Fasayaĥshuruhum 'Ilayhi Jamī`āan
The Messiah is not too proud to be a servant to God, nor are the angels who are close to Him. Whoever is too proud from His service, and is arrogant, then He will gather them all towards Him together.
