Prevention and Treatment of Jealousy based on Islamic Resources

The purpose of the present study is to introduce strategies for the prevention and treatment of jealousy from the perspective of Islam.

The research method is descriptive-analytical. In this research, which is a type of applied research, using the Holy Quran, interpretations and narration books, strategies for the prevention and treatment of jealousy were identified and after naming, classification and analysis. Separation of internal and external solutions as well as presentation of cognitive, emotional and behavioral strategies (according to Ellis's theory model) are among the initiatives of this research. For this purpose, the solutions were divided into two categories: internal and external.

According to verses and hadiths, about internal strategies, six cognitive strategies, three emotional strategies and seven behavioral strategies and in the field of external strategies, four family strategies and three social strategies for prevention and treatment were identified and introduced.

Correct insight into God and the universe, as well as religious teachings such as piety, trust, patience, prayer, etc., play an important role in reducing and healing jealousy. However, due to the fact that the ways of prevention and treatment overlapped in most cases, therefore, prevention and treatment have not been separated from each other.
