Abstract

Like all the physical diseases, which are fatal for a body, all the ethical weaknesses, like avarice, rampage, and malignity are also most harmful for a man. But, amidst these, envy is the malady which, apart from personally, also affects badly the whole society. Individually, the victim of envy suffers from a high psychological troubles and inner becomes subjected to many diseases. The reaction of envy firstly attacks the envier, rather than the envied person. There can never come affection or consolidation in the society which contains this moral disease: envy. That is why, the Holy Qur┐’n directs us to seek refuge from the envy of an envier. The Holy Qur┐’n says :( Say, I seek refuge) from the evil of an envier when he envies. The Holy Prophet said: Avoid yourselves from envy, it eats one’s good deeds such as a fire eats the wood.
