The questioner:
How does a person raise himself from envy if he knows his envious one, but is unable to ask him to perform the ritual bath for him, and how does a person protect himself from envy?
The Shaykh:
He should increase his remembrance of Allah and his daily recitations in the morning and evening, and the recitation of the Verse of the Throne, Surat al-Ikhlas, and the two Mu'awwidhat,, and he repeats this. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, takes charge of his protection, because whoever seeks help from Allah, Allah helps him, and whoever seeks refuge in Allah, Allah protects him, and whoever relies on Allah, Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, suffices him. [At-Talaq 65:3]. Yes.
