Ujb is a person's being in love with himself.

Translated from Uzbek · Original text

Ujb is a person's being in love with himself. Hubb uz-zuhur is the love of making oneself seen. This state blocks a person from Allah. If you are blocked from Allah, what need is there for pomp and splendor? First gain knowledge, then forbearance. Possess word, spiritual state and years. Even earn wealth. Then look into your heart, asking: am I entitled to give people counsel? If you hear the call “No,” it means that now they will ask you for counsel. If the call “Yes” comes, it means you have made your ego an idol. And self-worship is idol-worship. Perhaps even worse than that.
