envy that is free from malice - Hassan Al Zahrani - 05-21-2007
What every Muslim is obliged to do is to love for his brother what he loves for himself of good things, and to hate for his brother what he hates for himself of bad things. This does not mean that he cannot like for himself what he likes for others. If he sees that his brother has something that he does not have, and he wishes that he had it too, this is ghibtah (envy that is free from malice). If he wishes that the blessing would be taken away from his brother, it is called hasad (destructive jealousy).
