Question:
Assalamu alaikumAllah says in surah Furqan iza marru bil lagw marru kirama. So one should show honor to idle talks bad people. How should it be done? Is it merely that one avoids them is that all? So when you try to show honor you feel proud. But i know that being proud is makrooh.So can one be proud while showing honor to bad people? Is it mustahab?And what is meant by this that a muslim is proud of his belief. So in this case should one be proud also? Or it meana that one does not belittle or humiliate himself to yhe disbelievers and he should not be proud?Jazakum Allahu khairan
Answer:
All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
We do not know what you exactly mean as the structure of your question is ambiguous and unclear.
If you understand from this verse (which means): {And [they are] those who do not witness falsehood, and when they pass near ill speech, they pass by with dignity.} [Quran 25:72] that a Muslim should show respect to the bad words of the people, then the verse does not indicate this. Here is an interpretation of the meaning of the verse by some scholars.
Abdur-Rahmaan ibn Sa’di said in his Tafseer:
“They do not witness falsehood, i.e. forbidden words and actions. They avoid all the meetings that include forbidden words or forbidden actions.” [End of quote]
Avoiding them in this case is what is Islamically required. Allah Says (what means): {And when you see those who engage in [offensive] discourse concerning Our verses, then turn away from them until they enter into another conversation.} [Quran 6:68]
Avoiding such meetings or turning away from the people who indulge in offensive discourse does not mean that a Muslim feels proud by doing so. Also, if he avoids those bad deeds done by the people, it does not mean that he does not respect the people.
Feeling proud of one’s religion [Islam] is something required, as Allah Says (what means): {Say, "Indeed, my Lord has guided me to a straight path - a correct religion - the way of Abraham, inclining toward truth. And he was not among those who associated others with Allah."} [Quran 6:161]
A Muslim feeling proud of his religion means adhering to the rituals of Islam, abiding by its morals, showing its teachings, calling to it, defending it, and not being ashamed of the Islamic legislations which are disliked by the disbelievers and dissolute people. All these virtues have nothing to do with arrogance, pride, or other despised conducts.
Finally, humbleness does not mean that a Muslim should despise himself or his religion in front of the disbelievers or others.
Allah knows best.
