CONCLUSIONS

CONCLUSION
Envy is a psychological disorder that prevails among humans based on greed and jealousy as well as pride and prejudice. An environment of respect and fondness for humanity needs to be channelized as national and international policy and grouping against each other become a bone of contention between nations, communities, families and individuals. Islam believes in true universal brotherhood and propagates the thought “What you like for yourself, like it for your brother. Out of self-interest, Islam commands humans to establish peace and good relationship and does not believe in human condemnation but in respect for all races, religions and regions. It is important to understand envy its dangers and causes otherwise it would engulf whole humanity. The present chaos at local, national and international levels is the outcome of envy and the need of the hour is to develop positive psychological traits to enrich human values as being a true representative of humanity. According to Islam, no human is superior to others, and no region is superior to others but one is pious and progressive in nature. As per the hadith of Prophet Muhammad (SAAS), “We are all responsible beings and will be questioned about our responsibility on the day of Judgement”. In this way, envy or any other social evil has no room or value before God and must be avoided, being a sin deeply ingrained like some humans. God completely rejects disorder that prevails due to envy and directs humans to restore true divine order as the primary goal of divinity. So that everyone feels free and happy. While concluding egotistic determinations of individual or international nature are the outcome of envy and are highly hazardous for the human community. Humans should not develop the behaviour of envy but develop characteristics of patients, forbearance and tolerance because God loves those who love His creation and develop the patience to overcome mental /psychological disorders.
