Salam Aleykoum my brothers and sisters, in this teaching, jealousy is approached as a serious illness of the soul that can lead to extreme acts, even to misdeeds such as murder. The Quran reminds us of the seriousness of jealousy and warns us of its harmful consequences. It is emphasized that jealousy can even come from within the same family, as shown in the stories of Cain and Abel, as well as Joseph and his brothers. These stories illustrate how jealousy can lead to terrible acts, including murder. Jealousy is compared to a fire that consumes the one who experiences it. It is therefore advisable to ignore it and to be patient in the face of those who are jealous or envious. Patience is presented as the best response to jealousy, because it allows one to overcome trials and to protect oneself against the misdeeds of the jealous. Invocation and recitation of the Quran are also presented as a means of protection against jealousy and its harmful effects. By invoking God for protection against the jealous, one can hope to obtain divine grace and be preserved from curses and evil looks. Finally, it is advisable not to reveal one's projects and successes to everyone, because this can attract envious glances. It is preferable to keep certain things to oneself and ask God to preserve and increase one's blessings. In summary, jealousy is presented as a disease of the soul that can have serious consequences. To protect oneself from it, it is recommended to ignore the jealous, to be patient with wisdom, to invoke God for protection and not to reveal one's successes to everyone.
