Religious Schisms

Do the examples shown above give sufficient material to answer the question of importance of jealousy and envy for the development of religious schisms? Probably not, the examples however show that it certainly did play a role in what happened centuries ago that changes the geopolitical landscape until today.
Furthermore the two schisms studied suggest that jealousy in a socio-psychological sense, as Sara felt it, fearing to lose her husband to another woman, might have inherently different consequences than envy over material goods, rights or privileges, as this paper suggests A’icha must have felt.
However they are not as easy to separate after all, as they usually come hand in hand with one another. As shown above, Sara still showed signs of envy just like A’icha had reasons to be jealous. It is therefore impossible to separate them to argue that they have different historical consequences. 
Looking at the two instances above, it therefore seems far more constructive to approach a different question: How come, from a modern day perspective, one of these instances hints more towards reunification …show more content…
However, they can not be seen as the sole crucial factors for how the division will be seen in the future, and what consequences will come with it.
