Recently, Iftikhar Thakur appeared on the podcast Lunch with Lillas, where he claimed that jealousy is responsible for the rise in diabetes.


Talking about it, Iftikhar Thakur said, “If a man is dishonest and has bad intentions, he cannot be successful. I think—maybe I am wrong—but in our country, forty percent of sugar patients may have developed this disease due to jealousy. Although doctors say it is caused by depression, anxiety, and stress, I believe that when a person feels jealous of his brother or harbors animosity of any kind, or thinks negatively about others’ success, or complains to Allah after seeing others succeed, it affects his health. A jealous person may suffer from heart disease, blood pressure, diabetes, and brain disorders. Allah has made everyone beautiful and has provided blessings differently for each person. We should make others happy, as this life is temporary. We should facilitate others. The real life is yet to come, so we should prepare for the hereafter and make others happy.” Watch here:
