Somalia Posted June 20, 2012 It's bad, but I am pretty sure it isn't a medical condition. But how can you make only 152 posts since 2003, that's the real question at hand! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aaliyyah Posted June 21, 2012 I will listen to this clip inshallah, but there is a healthy jealousy and a bad one lol..you can say "I wish i had what hebel has" or something along those lines. But, you can't question God Oh Allah swt why did you give so and so that blessing? I wish he/she never had that. That is haraam. But, wishing to have what someone else has is completely fine. I am sure all of us has experienced it at least at one point in our lives. That is a normal jealousy salaam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raamsade Posted June 25, 2012 Envy is actually not bad at all. Sometimes it acts as the impetus that propels man to greater heights. Your next door neighbour gets a fancy new car and envy drives you livid. Rather wallowing in envy and self-pity you use this energy in postive manner by striving harder to one day upstage your neighbour with fancier car. How is that bad thing?

Fazliyah Posted July 6, 2012 Envy can be seen as a positive thing, but the example you provided doesn't support your claim. Envy is a good thing when it propels us to compete with our brother and sister in things that are good; for example, if it causes us to better ourselves islamically. Let’s say your neighbor prays more than you or is spiritually better, and your envy of his good actions pushes you to better yourself. In this case, envy would be a good thing. However, materialistic or mundane things such as your example wouldn’t be a situation where envy is good. Islam teaches us not to be envious of the things our brother have, but the good they do.

True, I totally agree. In Islam it's not permitted to envy people for what they have, but it's permitted to envy a person for their piety i.e righteousness etc which benefits one in the hereafter. MashaAllah and who wouldn't wanna be like the righteous as they remind us of Allah. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed- my brother went to university, and though I had no interest before, I went too. It can be a drive for personal improvement.But he's still taller than me :mad: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can't be perfect in everything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
