Jealousy

Well, Bahi sahab! Since I guess it is still within the boundary of the topic so let me explain.

The translation in this video is incorrect…with the understanding that there is a difference between jealousy and envy.

It is a slight difference but with a strong difference in terms of being good or bad.

What Haasid in arabic word in Quran means is really jealousy.

Jealouisy means someone is not happy for someone else’s achievements and may even has plan to cause harm to that person.

Envy simply means longing to have something other has achieved. And the person may be happy for other person.

In Urdu it is called “Rashk” not 'Hasad". Also envy does not mean that the person has any intention or wish that other person should not have gotten the good achievement.

Hope ths clarifies what I wrote earlier. I wrote that post with full understanding.

Here is something for support I just found for you.

Envy | Define Envy at Dictionary.com

1.** enviousness.** Envy and jealousy are very close in meaning. Envy denotes a **longing **to possess something awarded to or achieved by another: to feel envy when a friend inherits a fortune. Jealousy, on the other hand, denotes a feeling of resentment that another has gained something that one more rightfully deserves:

Ok I think this is an issue due to translation..

The translations mention it is envy which is mentioned in the surah. For example

YUSUFALI: And from the mischief of the envious one as he practises envy.
PICKTHAL: And from the evil of the envier when he envieth.
SHAKIR: And from the evil of the envious when he envies

and all the Ulema I have read, they translate “Hasad” as envy. And the one you’re referring to, where you would want something your friend has without the intention of causing harm to your friend, Ulema say that that’s known as “Ghibtah” which is permissible.
