00:00:08,740 --> 00:00:14,310
How can the envious person cure himself of this chronic ailment?

3
00:00:14,310 --> 00:00:18,309
In order for the envious person to rid himself of this chronic ailment,

4
00:00:18,309 --> 00:00:24,410
he must follow two paths: one theoretical and the other practical.

5
00:00:24,410 --> 00:00:26,410
As for the theoretical path,

6
00:00:26,410 --> 00:00:32,409
it is to learn and truly understand the meaning of divine decree and predestination.

7
00:00:32,409 --> 00:00:38,409
This involves deepening one's understanding of the beautiful names of Allah and His exalted attributes related to this matter,

8
00:00:38,409 --> 00:00:41,409
such as the All-Powerful, the All-Knowing, and the All-Wise.

9
00:00:41,409 --> 00:00:48,409
Through this, he will realize the reality of Allah’s power and His effective will in granting or withholding,

10
00:00:48,409 --> 00:00:52,409
His perfect knowledge of what every human being deserves,

11
00:00:52,409 --> 00:00:55,409
and His profound wisdom in that regard.

12
00:00:55,409 --> 00:00:57,539
As for the practical path,

13
00:00:57,539 --> 00:01:01,539
it is to treat the desire to envy through beneficial action.

14
00:01:01,539 --> 00:01:05,540
This is done by compelling oneself to act in opposition to one's base impulses.

15
00:01:05,540 --> 00:01:09,540
If envy drives him to desire to disparage the one he envies,

16
00:01:09,540 --> 00:01:15,540
he should strive to praise and commend him instead of criticizing and reviling him.

17
00:01:15,540 --> 00:01:17,540
And if he finds arrogance within himself,

18
00:01:17,540 --> 00:01:22,540
he must compel himself to be humble and pray for the one he was inclined to envy,

19
00:01:22,540 --> 00:01:27,540
while exerting effort to bring good to him and ward off evil from him.
