There are two main causes of Hasad (حسد) (jealousy). The first cause is love for this material world, wealth, position and status. A person whose heart is full of love of money and status always tries to have more wealth and higher status than everyone else. If he sees another person progressing he becomes jealous and wants to block others from gaining either wealth or status.
The second main reason why people develop Hasad is harbouring ill-feeling and resentment towards others. If a person becomes resentful towards another person then he gets unhappy if something good happens to that person, and gets happy if something bad befalls that person. When someone harbours such negative feelings towards another person they are bound to develop Hasad towards them.
