jealousy is an ugly colour

Aleyah:

meaning

Exalted

Highest in social standing.

her name meant nothing to her

she stubbornly refused to live up to it

she just wanted to be her younger sister

she wanted to be Noor

light

whom everyone loved

understood

who woke for fajr and recited with a passion

the elder had ever heard before

who possessed a beauty while wearing a hijab

that no amount of make up could even

light a candle to.

It Sucks To Be Compared.

but it's even worse to be envious

jealousy 

builds up 

consumes a person

'beware of envy because indeed envy destroys good deeds in the same manner as fire destroys wood'

(Peace Be Upon The Prophet SAW)

She should have been happy for her sister

her family

She could have tried to ask her sister

'What's so good about Islam?'

However she was caught up in riya.

Showing Off.

To gain attention.

her pride was too much to let go

but the jealousy still ate away...
