In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate
Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam.
Iblis was ranked among the angels but because of his jealousy towards Adam A.S. He was removed from that highest rank to become the furthest away from Allah.
The first murder by humanity was committed because of jealousy.
Yusuf's brothers wanted to kill him because of jealousy.
Grievous sins were done because of jealousy.
Abu Jahl didn't accept islam because of jealousy. Because the Prophet was chosen from Banu Hashim and not from his tribe eventhough they are all Quraysh?
Some of the Jews of Madinah didn't accept Islam because of jealousy. Because the Prophet was chosen from the Arabs and not from one of them.
So we need to identify in ourselves if we have this disease. II is not just in jobs, careers, money, looks, schools, attention in the family, politics but in all spheres.
Even in religious sphere -- this person is jealous of that person because that person has more fans or more engagements or more youtube subscribers...
This small masjid is jealous of that big masjid because they can raise more funds to build a big masjid.
Jealousy will affect every sphere of your life -- family, work, business, community, spiritual life...
Nib it in the bud before it grows bigger and get worse.
Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam.
And Allah knows best and is Most Wise, and He alone grants success, and to Him is the final return of all.
Wassalaam
