  • lol mashalah great God has forbidden the believers from backbiting

    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)

  • Manusia atau hantu! Human or Ghost?

  • :/ make Allah forgive me

  • good point! But very disturbing!!

  • it scared me!

  • That made me shiver.........SsssCarrry

  • it's right but it's scary we always so this not paying attention on what does it do for real

  • Wow, great video. powerful, those girls gave me the creeps! the message wasn't lost after a translation, and some explaining.. Thank you.

  • Allah the most Mercy Full please forgive me for all i've done wrong. And protect us all from such behaviours.

  • It's incorrect to think the women are too pretty or sex symbols, because the impact of this ad is from how innocent & beautiful they all look but in reality the act of backbiting shows how ugly and they truly are despite their outward appearance. As a young Muslim woman I was very struck by the powerful paradox this video presents. I was captivated by their beauty and it was scary when they ate the flesh and I realized that they were monsters despite their outward appearances. It was Brilliant.

  • masha'allah, wonderfully done! May Allah protect us from the evil of ourselves and forgive us for our sins.

  • scary..ya Allah protect us from backbiting

  • The Quran say : ( In يغتب youmostly some if any of you to eat the flesh of his brother meta fikir هتموه )

  • Oh then should Muslims stay quiet while people attack them??

  • backbiting is when you say something about a person that they would not like you saying.

  • nope, talk to them in the face!

    not behind their backs as if to spread rumors and gossip all the time

    say it in the persons face, why so scared ?

  • @brotdher no?! what are you talking about!? what does that has to do with backbiting?

  • I'd totally do the one at the end.

  • To me it looked like they were eating water mellons.

    But as soon as I looked at the title again and realized this must be flesh, I was shocked +scared.

    May Allah protect us from backbiting.

  • "FaKarihtumuuhu" indeed. The part where they were shown eating carrion looked liked a horror film clip.

  • I dont understan this video ...!

  • there is a verse in the Qur'an that says backbiting is like eating the flesh of your dead brother

  • it's a script written in the Qura'an..shows that backbiting is like u'r eating a human flesh "like u'r eating the person u'r backbiting"

    it encourges saying what u want in the persons face instead of backbiting him/her

  • Is it necessary to make a commercial like this with ONLY women? I like the message but it could be conveyed better.

  • @bcg527 well its because gossip and backbiting is mostly related to women, their not saying men dont do it , but they are showing who mostly are related to it. and bewaring evryone ,either men or women from doing it.

  • and you left some part of aya number 33 which says "or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter;"

    Both ayas clearly indicate that if you kill an innocent person its as if you killed the entire humanity- and for which you will be punished accordingly. But in order to defend against mischief in your land, you can defend your religion by punishing the transgressors by either killing them or exiling them.

  • Let me quote the Aya before that which says:

    "32. On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our apostles with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land."

  • Country that pollutes the most U.S.A.

    Country that has a high history of being racist U.S.A.

    Country with worst prejudice to Muslims U.S.A.

    Not to mention America also has horrible crime in it

    WAS THE VIRGINA TECH MASSACRE DONE BY A MUSLIM? NO

    America has drug dealing, shooting, robberies

    What's the real "Terrorist" Country now. America has done worse to ITSELF that any Extremist could ever do to it, Shame on you

    Disclaimer: I don't hate America, just pointing out facts against this ignorant

  • look at your username then talk, is R@p* a good thing, and btw this is just saying not to talk behind peoples backs, which is actually very civilised, so think before you speak next time

  • But we are not brbaric or viloent because the middle east has over 90% muslims and it has the least crimes in the world if you dont belive me search for it ,the media made us look viloent and barbaric all that i am asking you to do is to learn about us from us not from people who get on tv and start saying stuff they themselfs dont know if it is true or not.

  • this commercial means that there is no deffrience between talking about people behind there back or eating there flesh ,and islam does not teach voilence but peace dont belive everything they say about us on televison because it is all just lies ,if we were terrorests dont you think that most countrys around the world would be blown up.

  • Scary =O But memorable. Before you speak about someone behind their back maybe you'd stop yourself after remembering watching this.

  • Daaaaang!!

  • Wow, this is powerful. Creepy, but an overall good message about how evil backbiting really is.

  • EEEGGHHH scary. 0_0

    but very good!!!

  • How do you know when you are backbiting someone because Im not sure if I am or not

  • its easy if ur talking bad about sum1

    then ur backbitin

  • If your saying something behind a persons back and you know they wouldnt like it if you were to say it to there face or even spread such things thats a sign of back bitting..

  • Very good reminder!

  • wow...thats very artistic, straight up and intense! Good visual reminder!

  • wow, this is intense!

  • This stereotypes women. Men also gossip.

  • they had to use one sex, if they had shown men, would you have said it was stereotyping men?

  • defoo truee!!..u shud check out wat men do in mosques!!!

  • that was very disturbing

  • i dunno arabic what does that mean?

  • it's pretty much asking you if you would like to eat the dead meat of your brother? The Prophet Muhammad (pbhm)compared that to backbiting. Unfortunately my answer is to brief and if you are still interested in knwing more then i would recommend for you to do more research on Backbiting in Islam.

  • ohhh kk thanks!

  • All its trying to tell you is that backbiting is far worse than eating your dead brothers flesh...and thats what there doing eating flesh

  • At the end of the Video it shows a Qur'anic verse " And don't gossip (say bad things) about each other (in secret). Would one of you like to eat the flesh of their bretheren (while they are) dead?"

    The Qur'an makes an analogy that when you talk badly behind your brother/sister back, it is like eating their flesh because they are helpless like a dead person and you are betraying them. It is indeed a vile deed.

  • Inshallah Allah will protect us from backbiting.

  • this freaked me out pretty good

  • it started so nice then it was scary but i dont undersand wht they were saying, anyway it was so scary

  • i should show this to my little sister...i wonder how she'll react at 7 years old?? im jk!!!!

  • @irisay29 it talks about back biting , compared with eating flesh , back biting is much worse then eating your dead brothers flesh.

  • that was scarrry!!! im not everrr gonna backbite...

  • that was grooooosssssss!

  • salams,

    this is disgusting, and I don't see how it is godly or portraying the word of God, we don't need these images.

  • salam

    It portrays what happens when muslims indulge in "natlet el haki" (the transferring of gossip) ,they turn into ugly devilish like creatures.

    hope that brings some understanding

    salam

  • I,m sorry but they were not ugly or devilish , what is ugly and devilish is MEN shooting killing robbing destroying all in the name or religion and or political (MONEY) viewpoints .You fix that first and then mabye we can do something about some pretty girls eating strawberries and having fun.Where is your focus anyway ? Apparently not on the real problems ,which ARE religion and greed

  • I don't think you really got the point of this video. I don't know if you were trying to be sarcastic or what, but please read the info of the video on the right.

    Another point is that this is talking about a characteristic that the Muslim should develop, this is from Islam. Agreed that there are people who 'shoot, kill, rob, destroy in the name of religion', but is it the religion's fault? C'mon man !!

  • I respect your opinion ,yes it should not be the religion's fault ,but who is the number one muslem living today ?? the catholics have the pope to give ONE opinion of what the religion should stand for and against, the protestents ,I don't know if they could ever have ONE singular voice,Then we have our T.V. evanglists who are there for nothing more than THE MONEY .And the other religions allow it,because(Mabye??)they are no different ?? Is there a singular LIVING voice for the muslem religion?

  • jmack619...

    what do you mean by 'number one muslem living today'?

    what opinions are you talkin about?

    what opinion does the Pope give that the 'catholics' follow?

    Again, look upto Islam, not Muslims !!

  • the catholic pope is the catholic's religious leader . is there an islam leader or leaders.the catholic opinions or voice is that of the pope . I respect any religion .there are radical catholics & christians as well as islam jewish etc . all wanting to be right and to prove all others wrong .missdirected energy that could be used for peace love compassion and assistance . nothing but respect harxxin . hope to here from you soon

  • @jmack619 hi , just wanted to tell you , muslims only have 1 religiouse leader and its the prophet mohammad , we dont have popes or stuff like that in islam , their are what we call scientests of islam , those are the ones who have more knowlege because they study islam more than we do and they go into details , we learn from them but still they dont rule the religion , we only follow gods words provided by quran , and we learn frome the statments that the prophet stated 1400 years ago.

  • @CrazyApril Hi the only leader is Allah (swt) not Prophet Muhammed (pbuh)...we have several representatives though which are all the Prophets and we learn from the books that they came with the last being the Quran (remeber there is a difference b/w Rasoul (Messenger) and Nabi (Prophet). We believe in Angels and that there is a hellfire and Heaven. Your on the right track just that our Leader is always Allah then all of us are His creation and some of us are well learned about the deen.

  • Salamun 'Alaykum

    Those images meant that all the backbiting things were disgusting, and thats what it's like, a disgusting, mea, bad thing.

  • Jazakala Khair

  • ALLAH IS THE GREATEST!!!

  • wow, this video was terrible...it doesnt give a good impression of Muslim Women...there are many other different ways to get to this point, but not through this...besides women are viewed this way in "society" not "islamically". Besides, backbitting occurs between either men and women...not just women....

  • But be honest, most women, Muslim or not are just terrible when it comes to gossip

  • who isn't? But the best one among us (muslims) are the one's who try to avoid it and reject it also.. Here is this hadith which demonstrates what I mean:

    Whoever of you sees an evil deed should change it with his hand [by acting], or if he cannot do that, then with his tongue [by speaking out], or if he cannot do that, then with his heart - and that is the weakest of faith." Reported byMuslim (Kitab al-lman, No. 49).

  • I agree with this and i'm not even muslim :)

  • yup...everything has its solution in Islam. There is no estimate to how Islam builds a great life to all Musilms. May God bless you always, and thank you for your nice comment :)

  • Thank you. I can only wish you the same in return

  • alhamdulliah!! beautiful!! right to the core of the matter!!

    glad to see someone is conscious of this in these difficult

    days for the ummah. Now when are you going to make one

    where us men are doing the exact same thing? Salaams

  • o man. scares the crap outta me!

    not somethin to watch b4 goin to sleep. lol

    mashallah def serves its purpose tho :)

  • astarghfirllah. this video gave me the creeps (literally). It served it's purpose well. A very graphic but effective reminder. jazakallah for sharing.

  • whats back biting

  • speaking of people you know behind their backs with ill intentions (for example with the intention to gossip, ridicule, make fun, make others laugh at their expense etc)

  • barak Allahu fiek!

  • HOW IS BABBY FORMED?

  • They need to do way instain mother> who kill thier babbys, becuse these babby cant frigth back?

  • umm why are you askin in comments? lol xD

  • thank you verymuch for this video

  • Thats really nice that they depict women doing this, because men are sin free.

    I guess its the media's duty to remind women to keep their place as silent symbols of purity.

  • What's your argument?

    Why should it be men? There is none of this PC in any country outside of the UK!

  • oooh creepy...but I know that the next time I'm tempted to indulge in gossip I'll think of this...so thanks :)

  • This ad is from Saudi Arabia with an all Saudi cast.

  • Okay..This is just freaking. I hope I never backbite again Inshallah.

    Were they eating someone or something?

  • im never bakbiting again alhamdullilah 4 dis vid

  • Scary stuff, jazakAllah khair for uploading.

  • erghh...thas gross!!

  • i jus lost me appetite

  • Ya Lateef, may Allah protect us from ignorance and neglectance of Islam. JazakAllahu khairan.

    Salaam (peace)!!

  • Ameen.

  • I gotta agree. However, it is a scary ad, not that scary, but freaky. But nevertheless, the girls are quite nice looking. :)

  • nice looking who says that!!!

    anywho, did you rate me low cuz like im rated -7 people are so rude.

  • nice looking but indulging in ugly beahviour. I am still freaked out. lol

  • God, doesn't this video just make you think! Whenever I'm going to speak to someone I always try to stop myself backbiting about someone else. May Allah reward whoever made this ad to bring more awareness to Muslims!

  • This ad is from Saudi Arabia

  • 'God si Love' E.M. Forster

  • mashallah! that was a very good video!... may allah reward u brother =]

  • Allah save us All!!!!

  • god save us all =) god is allah and allah is god.

  • yes but better to say Allah ...

  • thank you again brother

    i love the insight

    if we all know the story we get it

  • YECKH! Backbiting is like eating the flesh of your brother.

    The one who goes from one person to another speading lies and hatred is a buhtaan, cursed by Allah.

    Common misconceptions of Ghaeebah:

    Gossip=english word

    Backbiting=speaking when anything the person wouldnt like if present

    Slander= outright lie about or against that person. Both are forbidden in Islam

  • CANNIBALS

    i just lost my appetite no lie

  • Navigator20071: "mn bara 3abasy o mn jawa kasasy. IN many arabic lands, the most bad girls who seak sex and other bad stoff are hijab women. and most of bitches in the arabic lands wear hijab to make other think that she is pure."

    Are you associating Hijab with adultry?

    Or are you associating Hijab with adultry... ?

    Ma agool ellaa..

    Kellen yara el-nas be3ain 6ab3ah...

    Lool! XD

  • Aaaaagggggghhhhh! That's super scary, but it IS very effective. If someone backbites, I'll be sure to remember this video and walk away.

  • scary isnt it but effective

  • ????!!!!?!?!?! I didnt get it

  • look at the comments by yorku1986 and you will get it

  • umm woman always just talk about people.. oh this guy did this that guy did that.. and stuff like this..its just nasty..

  • you just talked about women :P

  • lol not realy.. this wasnt back biting... many woman are here

  • "O you who believe! Avoid much suspicions, indeed 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. And fear Allah. Verily, Allah is the One Who accepts repentance, Most Merciful."

    [Quran 49:12]

  • EWW!!

    omg thats sooooooo scary!!

    OMG!!

    thats soooooo frikin creepy!!!!!

    :S:S:S:S:S:S:S:S:S:S:S:SSSS

    OMGG!!

  • nice video...certainly gets the msg across effectively....

    the women in this video are really good looking too heh.

  • wow

  • wow that was powerful

  • GREAT REMINDER!!!!!

  • these women didn't realize that only women participated for the video

  • thats because as a woman i will attest to the fact that we indeed backbite more than our male counterparts. Honestly with guys if they have a problem with each other they usually confront each other...with girls its like first u gotta play all these monda games and talk smack and then fight and then resolve. Look around a lot of the time its women who gossip and its not good because its a sin in islam...and there is a hadeeth that states bacbitting is like eating the flesh of ur fellow man

  • (Quran 49:12) Look it up ppl. Check out a reputable slamic site to get an English site.

  • yea man, thats creepy

  • LOl be afraid.. be very afraid

  • SalaamAlaikum, SubhanAllah yes, indeed, I Really aware it and JAZAKALLAH KHAIR.

  • damn thats creepy

  • thats really good.

  • whoa never knew somethin like this from the mid east... cool and scary!

  • dude, that was whack, i was freaked.

  • Thats freaky but it like what the Prophet (saws) always said "would u like to eat the meat of a dead brother?"

  • yes,backbite isn't good.Sometimes it's hard to recognise wether you are or are not backbiting.U might say some lies(gossip) that is backbiting but if someone hits u and u say:that person is stupid,someone could say your backbiting.

  • IM NEVER GONNA BACKBITE AGAIN.!!! yuk

  • The video is kinda scary but it is true. Girls do backbit alot and i m trying to stop because i feel bad when someone backbit on me so i try not to backbit on other people

  • this clip kreaps me out!! arab wemen look naughty lol ;D

  • a little extreme but def cool and it really makes it point

    are you sure this isnt a scene from 30 days of night?

  • They say in Islam, that the hardest thing for a woman to give up...is GOSSIPING! think about it sisters.

  • ...as much as I agree about everyone needing to stop backbiting, it is not a sin restricted to women. Just as a reminder, those who spread rumours about Bibi Ayesha, rumours that created doubt in the Prophet (SAW) heart for his beloved wife, were men, not women.

  • Lol, I forgot to comment on the actual video...excellent ad! Creeeepy, but effective.

    Inshallah, may Allah help us all keep away from this sin, which has effects beyond what we can imagine or intend.

  • Its haram for men and women

  • agreed...there is no restriction on this hadith for women alone, however I will attest to the fact more women than men do gossip.

  • This video really hits home

  • for anyone who says its sexist. ya u know wat maybe it is, but i, being a muslim teenager, see this ALL the time with the "aunties" and honestly have never heard the "uncles" saying things like this. im not saying only the female sex backbites but it sure does happen a lot more frequently and openly with women. i hope this helps to STOP it.

  • that is so true.

  • what is backbitting

  • Its basicly like gossip, or talking about someone behind their backs.

  • exactly what Jenny911 said and Muslims believe in this verse from the Quran

    "O you who believe! Avoid much suspicions, indeed 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. And fear Allah. Verily, Allah is the One Who accepts repentance, Most Merciful."

    [Quran 49:12]

  • Mashallah very good vid, to show backbiting is HARAM!!!

  • 4 those of u who think its sexist its not you need to think, we do gossip more than men coz we're home more, work less, and this is coming from a muslim woman soooo i think it had a good point, and men just arent like women they wouldnt be in a scene like this sitting around eating strawberries giggling, lol so u have to appreciate the art and the message that was trying to be spread, i mean really if men had done this it would have been totally lame but it was cool mashallah Salaamz!

  • i signed up for this just to respond to qutehijabiqueen. i mean seriously, women are home more and work less?? give me a break! what planet do you live on?! even if a woman is a housewife, that certainly does not equate her to spending her whole day gossiping. and if a woman is then you need a life. get up off your butt, get a job, do some volunteer work or get a constructive hobby!

  • that was the creepiest and scariest thing i've ever seen. And to those of you who think its a sexist commercial, well consider this, women are seen as soft and nice and gentle beings right? so what harm could they do? right? well using nice gentle women in a commercial like this drives the point home that its not ok for ANYONE to backbite... even a harmless lady...

  • of course this only shows Muslima women backbating as if the brothers dont do it themselves....this is a very sexist and chauvanistic portrayal of backbiters....it should apply to all Muslims not just the sisters, when brothers backbite just as much.

  • Most of other videos by this guy make fun of Muslim men. I wonder if anyone called those vidoes as sexist.

    Instead of giving such comments, we should understand the message being conveyed.

  • nasty thats like eatig pork.

  • i dont understand it i get the first part that there back bittin but then after that its confusing

  • Allah considers backbiting as eating your human brother's flesh, and actually as a punishment a backbiter will be forced to eat the person that they gossiped about, in hell...so this ad is making us realise the mistake we commited if we backbite

  • Are you sure you've quoted that punishment accurately? Seems a bit harsh on the person who was gossipped about!

  • SubhanaAllah! We need these kind of reminders sometimes to bring home how serious a sin can be! We might see it small but its HUGE in the sight of Allah. JazaakaAllahu khayr.

  • scary!

  • In Islam to backbite as if to eat a flash of your brother.

  • i know this is probably out of the blue. ....But i love the hijabs. i love how, they've worn them. especially the loose ones!

  • aww lol bless u

  • oh Allah if i have ever gossiped umm maybe i did plz forgive me. i dont want to be eating fleshes like this. omg! from now on i promise to be careful, this has opened my eyes but it is too violent geez!

  • omg middle eastern women are so beautiful. damn i wish i was pretty like them :(

    anyway, this vdo is scary and violent. i think they overdid it. and yes men also backbites too, they should have put some men on the vdo too not just women.

  • back biting slander and gossip, and idle talk is a sin...it tarnishes the character, and it makes the character li
