Backbiting - A social and moral evil
Aslamo Alikum,
Dear All,
Suppose there are two persons A and B.
Whenever A will backbite B, God will give A’s good deeds to B.
Prophet Muhammad (sws) said,
Backbiting eats your good deeds like the fire eats dry wood.
We all know, fire eats dry wood quickly, so if we will backbite someone, our good deeds will be burnt like a dry wood.
People backbite each other as a habit but they don’t know
what the hell
they are doing with themselves.
God says in Quran, that
backbiting is like we are eating the flesh of our dead brother/sister.
So, all those people who are backbiting others are actually eating dead meat of humans.
Definition of Backbiting & Slander
Prophet Muhammad (sws) said :
"Do you know what backbiting is?" They said, "God and His Messenger know best." He then said, "It is to say something about your brother that he would dislike." Someone asked him, "But what if what I say is true?" The Messenger of God said, "If what you say about him is true, you are backbiting him, but if it is not true then you have slandered him."
Sahih Muslim
Reference:
O you who have believed, avoid much [negative] assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin. And do not spy or
backbite
each other.
Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his brother when dead?
You would detest it. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is Accepting of repentance and Merciful.
Quran 49:12
