๐ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
๐️ Five signs that you're actually not jealous of a person even though some individuals like to imagine that you are "envious":
1] As much as possible you refrain from gossiping about them negatively or discussing their defects pointlessly with others behind their backs.
2] You don't stalk their social media accounts with malicious motives, desperate to check if they've posted upsetting news so you can mock their misery or eager to collect more info about them so you know how to compete and prove your "superiority".
3] You avoid intentional attempts to make them feel left out at gatherings, meetings and virtual group conversations.
4] Every time they speak, or even when they're silent, you don't roll your eyes with resentment. Regardless of their tone of voice or errors they commit occasionally, you are incapable of ridiculing how they sound because, in the first place, you're not guilty of envy.
5] You don't feel the need to bully them to pacify unpleasant feelings of inadequacy nor do you treat them unfairly. Since you're not jealously threatened by their presence, you have the ability to keep your cool and maintain decent manners with them despite a few dissimilarities.

๐ Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Do not envy each other, do not outbid each other, do not hate each other, do not turn away from each other, and do not outsell each other. Rather, be servants of Allah as brothers. The Muslim is the brother of another Muslim. He does not wrong him, nor humiliate him, nor look down upon him. Righteousness is here," and he pointed to his chest three times. The Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "It is enough evil for a man to look down upon his Muslim brother. The entirety of the Muslim is sacred to another Muslim: his life, his wealth, and his reputation."
