Sol 6.1

  1. Indeed, major sins are destructive to acts of obedience.

    And envy is indeed the most destructive of them to obedience.

  2. Never harbor envy toward someone who enjoys a blessing.

    Indeed, the envious person is far removed from the Most Merciful.

  3. And be content with your sustenance, for its shares have already been apportioned.

    An idler and a frugal person are alike in sustenance.

  4. So if you envy a man for what is his own,

    Then go, for you have nothing but sin and anguish.

  5. A reprehensible trait and blameworthy aims,

    And a purpose censured in the language of sacred law.

  6. You resented a condition whose prosperity God willed;

    So be content with what the One, the Unique, has already decreed.
