Islamic Vices

Character faults named in Islamic ethical and Sufi literature as diseases of the heart to be purified through spiritual discipline: ghadab (wrath), hasad (envy), kibr (arrogance) and riya (ostentation, performing piety for others' eyes rather than God's). Belongs here: a vice named and analyzed within Islamic ethical or Sufi sources specifically. Does not belong here: the Dharmic vices of Hindu, Buddhist and Jain ethics or a Christian deadly sin, which name overlapping faults such as anger and envy but belong to their own traditions' vocabularies, grouped separately.
