Meeting one's needs is not done by looking at what Allah has blessed other people with

[Hassan Al Zahrani]

Meeting one's needs is not done by looking at what Allah has blessed other people with, or at how He has favored them over us, whether that is in terms of a wife, children, or wealth. Allah says: (And wish not for the things in which Allah has made some of you to excel others. For men there is reward for what they have earned, (and likewise) for women there is reward for what they have earned, and ask Allah of His Bounty. Surely, Allah is Ever All Knower of everything) [al-Nisa' 4:32]
