Jealousy over the good of someone

Q: Is it a sin to give someone the evil eye unintentionally? Is it a sin to be jealous of someone’s rahmat?

A: To feel jealous over the good of any person is haraam. This in actual fact is being displeased with the decision and distribution of Allah Ta'ala. Hence, this is a grave sin in Islam.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
