Jealousy. That silent whisper in the heart when someone else receives the blessings you’ve prayed for. In Islam, this is called ḥasad, and it can quietly erode our faith, sincerity, and inner peace.

In this episode of Light Upon Light, we explore:

  • What ḥasad really is and why even devout believers struggle with it

  • The spiritual dangers of jealousy and how it affects your deeds

  • Practical, Islamic steps to heal the heart, transform envy into gratitude, and cultivate ghibṭah—positive admiration for others

  • Duʿā’s and reflections to cleanse the heart and strengthen your connection with Allah

Whether you’ve felt it yourself or want to help others overcome this silent poison, this episode offers guidance, compassion, and spiritual tools to reclaim your peace of heart.

Listen, reflect, and take the first step toward a heart free from envy.
