Alhamdulilahi and may blessings and peace be upon him prophet Muhammad.
Envy is one of the most dangerous diseases that afflicts the heart of the believer in killing, and that is why Allah guided us in His Book to seek refuge from the evil of envy.
وَمِنْ شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ.(الفلق ٥
and from the evil of an envier when they envy.(Al falaq 5)
The Prophet, may blessings and peace be upon him, forbade envy, so he said:-
لا تباغضوا ولا تحاسدوا ولا تدابروا وكونوا عباد الله إخوانا.
Meaning:- Do not hate, do not envy, or deliberate, and be brothers and servants of Allah.
If the believer is afflicted with envy, his insight becomes weak, his faith diminishes, his good deeds are gone, he mistrusts his Lord, his interest in the collection of virtues has become corrupted, and he relies on aspirations.
Our beloved prophet Muhammad may Allah blessings and peace be upon him said:- إياكم والحسد فإن الحسد يأكل الحسنات كما تأكل النار الحطب.
Beware of envy, for envy eats good deeds as fire eats wood.
And envy means: wishing that the blessings of someone else to remove. If he sees a blessing from Allah on his brother, then he hopes that it will be removed from him, for nothing except because he hates him, and envy is an old disease, the first to envy is Shaitan, he jealous of our father Adam, peace be upon him, for what Allah gave him some of the virtues, as he created him with his hand, taught him the names of everything, and made Angels prostrate to him, and made him live in his paradise, when Shaitan was angry and refused to prostrate with the angels.
فَسَجَدَ الْمَلائِكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ(الحجر ٣٠
All Angles prostrated "to Adam" ( Al hijr 30) When their Lord "Allah" said to them, prostrate to Adam, they prostrated except Shaitan refused to prostrated.
إِلاَّ إِبْلِيسَ أَبَى أَنْ يَكُونَ مَعَ السَّاجِدِينَ( الحجر ٣١) Except Iblîs "Shaitan", who refused to prostrate with the others.(Al hijr 31)
أَبَى وَاسْتَكْبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنْ الْكَافِرِينَ(البقرة ٣٤)
He refused and was arrogant and became of the disbelievers.
(Al baqara 34)
This is because Adam, peace be upon him, was with some virtues, Shaitan envious of what Almighty Allah gave him, so he refused to prostrate to him, with arrogant, claiming that he is better than Adam, because Allah created him from fire and Adam was created from clay, and by his claim that fire is better than clay. And when he became arrogant against Adam and his envy, Allah Almighty expelled him and cursed him, he was at the beginning with the angels worshiping Allah in the sky, then when he envied Adam, Allah expelled him and cursed him and sent him down from heaven to earth, and made him a pimp for every evil, calling for all evil, making him from the people of Hellfire, and making him He calls to fire always and forever, all because of envy. So for a Muslim, he must be satisfied with the judgment of Allah and his destiny, and also from what envy is treated is that you pray to your brother for blessing, pray for him with blessing, instead of wishing that the blessing will disappear from him, pray for him to remain, and Allah bless it, and this does not harm you. But it will benefit you from Almighty Allah.
Beware.
O servants of Allah, that your good deeds burn out because of envy, seek refuge in Allah from envy, and ask Allah for His bounty, and love to your brothers the good and pray for them with blessing, and Allah Almighty is All-Knowing.
