Jealousy

Jealousy is an evil quality that casts a person in lowliness. A person who has jealousy is disliked by everyone in the society. Under the influence of jealousy, he acts in a certain way that he should not, merely for his personal comfort. Sometimes, he achieves his goal but his plan eventually fails and he becomes undesirable for eternity. The easiest way to become undesirable in the eyes of people and Allah Ta’ala, is to act under the influence of jealousy. Likewise, it is very easy to become desirable far and wide by wishing for the happiness and well-being of the next person.
