Is envy ever worth it?
The Prophet ﷺ tells us "وَأَجْمِعِ الْيَأْسَ عَمَّا فِي أَيْدِي النَّاسِ" Give up hope for what other people possess.
It’s so easy to get caught up in what others seem to have: the perfect children, the happy couple, the Pinterest-worthy home, the deeply spiritual life. But what we see on the outside is only ever the curated version of someone’s reality. Every soul carries its own unseen burdens.
In Episode 10, Dr. Rania Awaad breaks down the difference between envy that is harmful vs aspirational envy, and shares strategies on how to train your heart not to compete over dunya, but to compete in what pleases Allah ﷻ.
This Ramadan, we are asking our Instagram community to help raise $5,000 of our overall goal for the newly launched Maristan Academy. Your sadaqah today makes a true impact as we seek to offer new trainings that offer the Muslim community tools to help prevent mental health crises.
