Envy is destructive because it leads to The Evil Eye, known as “al-ain” in Arabic, “nazar” in Urdu/Turkish/Farsi.
The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: “The Evil Eye is real, and if anything were to overtake the Divine Decree (Al-Qadar) it would have been the Evil Eye.
If you are worried about giving someone the Evil Eye, whenever you see something where you feel envy recite "Amanto billahe wa be Rasulehi"
Also praying Ayatul Kursi and the 4 Qul Surahs keeps away the Shaitan thus preventing us from getting these feelings of envy and jealousy in the first place.
