Note: Five Signs Which Indicate That You're Not Jealous At All

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 

🗒️ 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.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Faith and envy do not combine within a believing servant."

In another narration, the Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Greed and faith are never combined in the heart of a servant."

📖 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."

Poem: Please, Don't Assume I Envy Lifestyles Which Allah Doesn't Like

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 

🗒️ The likeness of narcissists who foolishly take pride 

In their lavish cribs, luxury rides, pricey attire, 

And worldly joys while they deny Jannah Paradise, 

Is that of prideful donkeys desperate to be admired

For dried twigs they amassed while discarding gold nearby, 

~•~

Or disturbed monkeys in a safari park at night

Showing off their treasures of banana peels they like, 

While there's no valid reason to envy their lifestyle, 

Specially if they're misguided, can't tell wrong from right, 

And this dunya's delusions depress them from inside. 

~•~

I can't inspire myself to feel jealous of the lives 

Of avaricious people whom Allah doesn't guide 

To Islam, charity and belief in Paradise, 

Specially if they're not wise enough to realize 

This world is a test and demise can come anytime. 

~•~ 

If ever you encounter narcissists who take pride 

In their lavish cribs, luxury rides, pricey attire, 

And "poor" is a word they, with kibr, use to describe 

You, while you're contented, not jealous of their lifestyle, 

Specially if there are signs by Allah they're despised, 

~•~ 

Tell yourself: No need for their temporary delights, 

Materialism is not something which Allah likes, 

And your wealth won't join you in your grave when death arrives. 

Don't bother desiring this world's pleasures masked with lies. 

Their worth doesn't equate with true bliss in Paradise.

📖 Abu Dharr RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "O Abu Dharr, do you say an abundance of possessions is wealth?" I said 'yes.' The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Do you say a lack of possessions is poverty?" I said 'yes.' The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam repeated this three times, then he said, "Wealth is in the heart and poverty is in the heart. Whoever is wealthy in his heart will not be harmed no matter what happens in the world. Whoever is impoverished in his heart will not be satisfied no matter how much he has in the world. Verily, he will only be harmed by the greed of his own soul."
