Answer:
Hakeemul Ummah (Rahimahullah) has advised the following:
You should make Dua for those you are jealous of that Allah grants them more and in general, make Dua for their well being, salvation in the Aakhirah etc. If it is possible, you may also buy gifts for these people. Insha Allah, this will replace the jealousy in your heart with love and compassion for them. Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) has said, “Give gifts to each other, you will love each other”.
