Jealousy Jealousy is a disease of the heart. It is, perhaps, one of the oldest problems of human beings. Causes of Jealousy 1-Enmity: One has animosity for a person or group and does not want to see anything good happen to that person or group.
2-Ambition: It hurts a person to see someone else ahead or above him/her. 3-Pride and Arrogance: When a person is self conceited and arrogant, he/she feels very jealous to see anyone else going ahead or doing better. 4-Astonishment: Some time a person feels astonished that another person could do better than him/her. He/she feels surprised: 'How come that person became so rich, so successful, so popular, etc.?' 5-Fear: Fear that if another person would have such and such thing, then he/she may not have it. 6-Desire for power and prestige: Sometimes a person becomes jealous because he/she want to make one great by putting others down. 7-Evil nature and avarice of the heart: Some people just do not like to see others happy. They want to see the whole world in misery and difficulty except their own selves. Normally jealousy occurs among people who know each other. It happens among siblings, among family members, people of the same profession and age. "Do not be jealous of each other, do not boycott each other, do not hate each other, do not contrive against each other. Be all of you brothers to each other. All praises and thanks be to Allah, Lord of everything that exists.The most Gracious, the Most Merciful.Master of the Day of Judgment You (alone) we worship, and You (alone) we ask for help.Guide us to the Straight Way The Way of of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor those who went astray.
