Many times jealousy and envy stems from ingratitude. At other times it stems from insecurity and a constant need for approval.  At the end of the day, ​jealousy can be ​simply  explained as ​a fear that you do not have value. ​On the Reminders Programme today Umm Abdillah discusses the importance of self-love  in overcoming the sickness of jealousy.
