The Cure for Envy and the Difference Between It and Admiration
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: A person is afflicted with envy. How can he cure this envy in his heart? And what are the harms resulting from envy?
Answer:
He should increase his remembrance of Allah. If he sees something that pleases him, he increases his remembrance of Allah and says[Al-Kahf 18:39]. He makes du'a for the one to whom Allah has given this thing, asking for blessing for him, and does not envy him. If he wishes that Allah would give him what He gave his brother in terms of wealth, university, or knowledge, there is nothing wrong with that. This is not envy; rather, it is admiration. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
