Alternative spelling: chasad, ħasad (ch and ħ are pronounced chet ח or cha ح, as in Bach)

An Arabic term for someone who hates another one to feel happy, gets pleasure from someone's suffering, or in another term: schadenfreude

Google Translate translated this as "envy", but it's incorrect or related but not the exact meaning, and btw Arabic has so many words with a specific meaning, just like how English uses Latin and Greek words to say specific contexts or meanings
Some religious lecture on a mosque taught the audiences the term "hasad". He said that this means a person who likes someone to suffer and this is a mental illness we should avoid

We know that some people refuses to help others even though they can, because some of them likes to see people suffering. This reminds me of a movie: "Elysium", where there's a device called Med-Bay and I read on Fandom that some fans said that this is an analogy of whether rich people choose to help other people or not with their privilege

Btw, nobody knows that the Alhazad in Wild Arms is related to this term, as this villain likes to suffer humans in the story because he get pleasures from it. Nobody on Fandom has written about this term on the trivia, at the time of this term is written
