In this enlightening conversation, Prof Mehmet Ozalp sits down with Dr Zuleyha Keskin to explore one of the most destructive yet often misunderstood emotions — hasad (envy). They discuss what envy truly is, how it differs from jealousy, and why it is considered a disease of the heart in Islamic spirituality. Drawing on Qur’anic insights and Prophetic teachings, they also unpack how envy manifests in daily life and share practical guidance on how to purify the heart from hasad and nurture genuine contentment.
