Du’a to be Protected from Envy and Jealousy

Allah says in Quran:

رَبَّنَا ٱغۡفِرۡ لَنَا وَلِإِخۡوَٰنِنَا ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا بِٱلۡإِيمَٰنِ وَلَا تَجۡعَلۡ فِي قُلُوبِنَا غِلّٗا لِّلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ رَءُوفٞ رَّحِيمٌ

“Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith and put not in our hearts [any] resentment toward those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed You are Kind and Merciful.”

Surah Al-Hashr: Ayah 10

  • Feelings of envy, jealousy, and resentment towards the success and happiness of others are negative traits that we should avoid.
  • These are diseases of the heart that often spread without us realizing it.
  • Hopefully, by practicing this du’a, we can eliminate these negative feelings from taking root in our hearts. InsyaAllah.
