HOLY JEALOUSY

When the complete feeling settles in the heart of the believer that all goodness and all success come
from God alone, he refuses to let his constant preoccupation and concern be to talk about Him, Glory be
to Him, and to be jealous of every word said about others, His Majesty. Sometimes people come and say
at length, “Such-and-such a book was read to me by such-and-such a number of people...” or “Such a
number of highly educated people participate in my lessons...”, while the correct thing is to always talk at
length about the affairs of God, and to be very zealous in that. We often find that the passion of
fatherhood and motherhood dominates some of them. If children are mentioned in a gathering, they
take the opportunity to talk about their children. We also see people looking for opportunities to talk
about their writing skills and public speaking prowess. This is bad behavior that does not befit a mature,
alert person at all. It is better for us to wait for opportunity after opportunity to talk about God Almighty.
If loyalty is mentioned, for example, we should punctuate the speech and say, “And who is greater in

its people, for example, we must hasten to say: “And they have not estimated God as He deserves” (Al-

honored us and raised us to the status of humanity, then he honored us with faith, and his grace did not
stop there, but rather he honored us by bringing us into the service of faith and the Qur’an.” Yes, we
have to confirm that, and we show unparalleled zeal in this regard. 67), He brought us out of
nothingness and gave us the garment of existence. He did not leave us inanimate, but rather gave us life.
He did not content himself with breathing the spirit into our bodies, but rather honored us and raised us
