Assalamualaykum Friend,

We pray this email finds you well in both eeman and health.

You don’t realize it in the beginning. A friend of yours got admitted into the University that you both applied to and even though you were happy for them, you also felt a twinge of jealousy.

That mum on Instagram has so much space in her house that she doesn’t have to always look for where to fit everything. You aren’t jealous of her, but you just wish you could get a bigger place too.

Many of us don’t set out to focus on other people’s blessings because we already know that a Muslim shouldn’t be jealous of what Allah (ta’ala) has blessed others with.

But once in a while, shaytaan rears his head and whispers into our hearts these thoughts that make us wish we had what someone else has.
