Jealousy Islam
Jealousy Islam
There are two types of jealousy. The first one isnt realy jealousy though its
more admiration. Where our friend and something and we admire it and we
pray that we can also have that. The other type is that we see someone
has something and we dont want them to have that.
They were Habil and Qabil. They were brothers. Habil was known to be a
nice and gentle person while Qabil was a bit more aggressive and strong.
One day Allah tells prophet Adam that his two sons must offer a sacrifice in
the way of Allah. So they both took their sacrifices and only Habils was
accepted.
It was because Habil gave his best to Allah and was sincere in his sacrifice.
Qabil on the other hand didn't give his best and just gave something just to
say he did. He wasn't sincere in his action. This teaches us that we must
always give our best for Allah and nothing less. When our mom asks us to
clean our room, we don't say no 5 minutes or only clean half. We have to
get up right away and listen to our parents. Because Allah told us to obey
our parents, so if we obey them we obey Allah.
Now Qabil got mad and thought why did Allah accept his sacrifice and not
mine? So he got mad and jealous of his brother and yelled I’m gonna kill
you! Habil said, “Well hold on a minute. Allah only accepts those who are
sincere, that's why he accepted my sacrifice. Now if you want to kill me I
will not raise my hand to kill you, because I'm scared of Allah. And if you kill
me you will go to hell”. Qabil being Qabil didn't care one bit for the words of
his brother and killed him.
Prophet Yusuf was the son of prophet Yaqub and he had 11 brothers! One
day Yusuf had a dream of 11 stars, the sun and moon prostrating to him.
He told his father Prophet Yaqub, and he said this means that you are a
prophet. But prophet Yaqub told Yusuf, “Hey man dont tell your brothers or
there gonna do something to you”
