"And do not exalt yourself in proud defiance against God (by disobeying His order and so rejecting my Messengership). Surely I have come to you with an evident authority
“Do not be arrogant towards Allah (do not defy the Rasul)... I have presented to you a clear and undeniable proof.”
Al-muntakhab fi tafsir al-Qur'an al-Karim
"Nor Should you pride yourselves on disbelief in Allah, your Creator, or set off yourselves against Him with inordinate self-esteem. I come to present you with delegated authority to influence your conduct and your actions"
