Practically, we can resist the feeling of envy coming upon us by - TopicsExpress



          

Practically, we can resist the feeling of envy coming upon us by an effort to turn things around. If you have an urge to talk against the one who attracts your envy, you should praise him instead. If you feel superior to him, you should behave humbly toward him. If your envy demands that you work against the one you envy, you should force yourself to be kind and generous toward him. Instead of cursing him and hoping he will lose the thing you envy, you should pray to Allah to increase His blessings upon him. These attempts may not be sufficient to prevent us from envy if we have this bad character well rooted in us. To uproot envy from our being for once and all, we have to analyse the causes of this bad habit and eliminate them. There are six principle origins of envy in human beings: egotism, arrogance, fear, ambition, bad intentions, and vengefulness. [The Path of Muhammad]
