Is the presence of ants on the body, the falling of objects, and the onset of sadness related to envy (Hasad)? If so, what is the remedy?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

We have no knowledge of a relationship between ants and envy (hasad), nor whether the occurrence of envy is linked to the presence of such things. A person may be afflicted by envy at any time and in any place, but this should not be a cause for obsessions and excessive rumination that may lead to psychological illnesses. The Sharia has clarified means for preventing envy and treating it if it occurs.
