Saad Tasleem – How To Overcome Feelings of Envy & Jealousy

			So how do you overcome feelings of jealousy and envy? You're watching hashtag.
		

			jealousy and envy is basically when you see that someone has something and you want it for yourself
islamically there's a concept known as hasit. And hazard is similar to jealousy and envy, except
that it has said, you not only want something that someone else has, but you also want that they
don't have it. So for example, let's say, you know, somebody who has more friends than you on
Facebook or more followers on Twitter or something like that has said this, when you want the
followers that they have, or you want more numbers, and they have, and you want that they have less
so that they whatever they're blessed with, or whatever they have, that it gets taken away from
		

			them. Now, this is a normal thing. It's normal for people to feel jealous and envious of others when
they see that Allah has blessed them with certain things. The best possible tip inshallah tada I
have for you is that when you're feeling jealous and envious, make a very simple and that is Allah
humma Zayed wa barik. Basically, what you're saying is, Oh Allah, increase them in what you have
given them, and put Baraka and put blessings in it. And you may think that's counterintuitive. You
may say, Well, if I'm jealous of them, why would I ask a lot to give them even more and to put
Baraka in it? Well, there's benefit in that and the benefit is this. First and foremost, when you
		

			make the offer somebody else we know that the angels make the same to offer you so when you say Oh
Allah, increase them in what they have, you're actually making the offer yourself as well. That's
the first thing. Second thing when you make do I offer someone else, you actually release the
negative feelings you have towards that person. And one of the things you'll realize about jealousy
and envy is that it's a very poisonous thing has said is very poisonous to the soul and it makes a
person very uneasy. So when you make this you will feel this release from your soul You will feel
this positivity and inshallah tada you're on a road to get closer to Allah subhana wa tada and Allah
		

			subhana wa tada knows best. Until next time, I said I'm what Aiko what happened to law here.
