✅๐ป You, if you're a hater who claims I'm "jealous", clearly
Don't know me, and you're lying if you claim I'm guilty
Of envy. Do you ever hear me so jealously
Gossiping about those who may have more gifts than me?
Do you see me acting like an overgrown bully,
Conducting outings and excluding those I envy?
No? Then don't lie. It's unwise to lack integrity.
~•~
Don't be like a talking parrot that speaks aimlessly,
Accusing lions of envying sheep or monkeys,
Blabbering nonsense without knowing the whole story.
As one who believes that Allah the Most Wise fully
Controls everything and gave tests to His slaves fairly,
I don't encourage envying friends and family.
And envying one's rivals is sheer absurdity.
~•~
I can't relate to feeling jealous; trust me, really -
Why would I want what someone has when Allah decreed
That for them, and envy is an evil quality
Which suits our enemy shaytan who hates it when we
Humbly accept Allah's Qadr with patience and peace.
Jealous people act rude and gossip regularly.
Don't guess I'm "jealous" when bad traits don't appeal to me.

๐ Anas Ibn Malik RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Envy consumes good deeds just as fire burns wood. Charity (Sadaqah) extinguishes sinful deeds just as water extinguishes fire. Prayer is the light of the believer and fasting is his shield from the Hellfire."

๐ Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Whoever wrongs his brother in his honor or anything else should resolve the matter today before it cannot be resolved with gold and silver coins. If he has good deeds to his credit, they will be taken from him according to the measure of his injustice. If he has no good deeds left, he will bear the evil deeds of the one he has oppressed."
