There is no character worse than jealousy. lman (faith) CANNOT exist with jealousy.

All sadness and troubles are a result of the envy. It is ugly between ordinary people, and even uglier between learned people.

If there were no envy, people would be so pure as to shake hands with the angels!

In the time of Moses (peace be upon him) there lived a very poor man. One day he asked Moses (peace be upon him) to pray to ALLAH to give him a cow. Moses (peace be upon him) agreed and asked his Lord to send that poor fellow his cow. ALLAH Almighty answered;

“ O Moses! Tell that man to pray for his neighbour, and I shall give two cows, one for each of them! ”

So, Moses (peace be upon him) went back to the poor man and told him what ALLAH had said;

“ If my neighbour gets a cow, ”

replied the indignant man,

“ then what would I want one for?”

This story shows us the nature of jealousy.

That man wanted good things for *himself alone.

Not only did he not care for his neighbors needs but he actually went out of his way to prevent the other man’s happiness.
