BACKBITING & SLANDER - AN ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE

It is quite often seen and heard people indulging in unnecessary backbiting and slander about their own fellow beings. Let us look into what the holy Qaran and Hadiths guide us in this regard:
And why did you not, when you heard it, say? "It is not right of us to speak of this: Glory to God, this is a most serious slander" (Quran 24:16)

This is the Book, in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear God. (2:2)

O you who believe! Avoid much suspicion, in deeds some suspicions are sins. And spy not neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting). And fear God, verily, God is the one who accepts repentance, Most Merciful. (49: 12)

Behold, you received it on your tongues, and said out of your mouths things which you had no knowledge; and you thought it to be a light matter, while it was most serious in the sight of God (24: 15)

Say to My servants that they should only say those things that are best, for Satan does sow dissensions among them, for Satan is to man an avowed enemy. (17:53)

Hadiths: Let's see what Prophet Muhammad  said about Backbiting in the hadiths. God states in the Quran - You have indeed in the Messenger of God an excellent pattern of conduct. (33:21)

Prophet Muhammad  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." (Muslim)

Prophet Muhammad  said : "Who protects his tongue from unlawful utterances and his private parts from illegal sexual intercourse, I shall guarantee him entrance into Paradise." (Bukhari and Muslim)

"I asked the Messenger of God  : Who is the best Muslim? The Messenger of God  replied, "He is the one from whom Muslims are safe from the evil of his tongue and hands." (Muslim)

"When man wakes up in the morning each day, all parts of the body warn the tongue saying, ‘Fear God as regards us for we are at your mercy; if you are upright, we will be upright and if you are crooked, we become crooked.’" (At-Tirmidhee)

In view  of the above it is imply made clear how sinful to the utter dislike to God and His messenger(pbuh) backbiting and slander are to all of us in this civil society. So it is a warning to every God fearing person to avoid backbiting and slander against any person whether he is an enemy or a friend in one’s own interest. It creates bitterness and enmity and over all damaging to the society we are living in and it is without achieving any thing. Contrary to it let us create an environment of love, respect and compassion amongst us.
