Product description:
Envy (hasad) is a disease that afflicts many hearts. If one is not cautious, it is easy to overlook this disease and fail to see the damage this disease is causing.
In this series of lectures, Br. Jamaal Zarabozo first explains the central role of the heart and the dangers of diseases in the heart. Next comes an indepth discussion of the concept of hasad and its evil consequences. This is followed by steps one can follow to remove this disease from one's heart.
Finally, the positive aspects of the obligatory hasad, competing in good deeds and sacrificing for the sake of others-the antidote to hasad-are discussed.
