What is the cure for intense jealousy, envy, wishing ill upon those who surpass one in obedience, and the desire to be the best and for God to not love anyone more than oneself?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The treatment we recommend is for envy (hasad). If you are keen on God loving you, then you must pursue the means to achieve that. Among the greatest means is love for the sake of God Almighty.
