No selfish Greed

One  of the negative qualities in human nature is selfish greed and Allah {swt} tells us in Qur'an that we  must avoid it.  "- - - - - - But  people are  prone to selfish  deed and Allah {swt} is aware of what  you do." {Surat An-Nisa' :128}

some people's selfish greed manifests as envy because others are materially or spiritually superior or have something they do  not.

For example, if there is someone more beautiful or attractive, they become envious. Others are envious of people who  are rich, successful, knowledgeable, cultured, hard working or own beautiful houses.
Prestige , fame, or position can be causes of envy. However , there is one important fact that envious people ignore ; and Allah {swt} reminds us of it in the Qur'an....."Or they in fact envy other people
for the bounty Allah {swt} has granted  them? {Surat  An-Nisa :54}.

Our Lord Allah {swt}  is the owner of all things. He provides for anyone  He wills and as much as He wills. A human being has no influence over whether more or less is given to  him. The absolute
owner of beauty,  property, possessions and superiority is Allah {swt}. A believer is aware of this.
So no matter what he encounters in the course  of a day that he does not own but finds appealing, it will not  make  him envious. If he sees someone attractive than  himself, he will think  of Allah {swt}  has chosen what He wills, for whom He wills, has given the blessings He wanted to whom He wanted  to  give them and that the choice and the decision are totally His. The believer acts in a way that acknowledges that Allah {swt} has created everything in the best and most beneficial way and that all the various blessings in the world are given to human beings as a test, that the true world is the world to come and that in Allah {swt}'s presence value is measured  in terms of behaviour that pleases Him.

A true believer does not feel selfish greed in  sharing  the things he owns with others or giving his possessions away. For example he is not  troubled in giving away a favourite possession as a gift or in letting someone else use it.  Allah {swt}, recommends this kind of behaviours to  believers in the Qur'an  : "You will not attain true goodness until you give of what  you love. Whatever you give away
 ,  Allah {swt} knows it. {surat Al 'Imran : 92}

A believer knows that all the blessings of this earthly life been given to him only for a while for his use and as a test' . he knows that negative traits like selfish greed and envy are wrong.
