How to Backbite 101

IMPORTANT: Please read the following:

Islam is a religion of peace, love and compassion. Lies, suspicion, back biting, slander and gossip are totally alien to Islam. In fact they are considered amongst the most destructive of major sins.

Backbiting and slander is so widespread that it has become the topic of people's meetings and an avenue for expressing their anger, misgivings and jealousy. Those who indulge in backbiting are oblivious of the fact that they are only harming themselves. This is because of the fact that on the Day of Resurrection both the wrongdoer and the wronged will stand before God, Who is the Just Judge, God will then give this wronged person from the good deeds of the person who wronged him in accordance with his wrong by backbiting.

WHEN BACKBITING IS PERMISSABLE:

Some situations allow us to inform others of what someone has done. It is allowed for us to inform the authorities when someone does injustice to us or others. It is allowed for us to inform someone who can help a perpetrator from committing further vice. It is also permissible for us to tell whoever seeks our advice on a person for business dealings or marriage. In this case it is not allowed for us to hide what we know about the person so that the enquirer will not be deceived. All these types of speaking about others are lawful.

WHAT SHOULD WE DO IF SOMEONE BACKBITES INFRONT OF US?
Islam teaches us that if people are being ridiculed or backbited in our presence, we should defend their honor. If we neglect this, we shall deprive ourselves of ever needed help and mercy from God - If a man's Muslim brother is slandered in his presence, and he is capable of defending him and does so, God will defend him in this world and in the next. But if he fails to defend him, God will destroy him in this world and the next. (Baghawi). What will we do the next time we are tempted to backbite or hear slander in our presence? Right now the choice is ours!

We ask God the Most High, the All Powerful, to teach us that which will benefit us, and to benefit us by that which we learn. May God grant blessings and peace to our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions.

Thanks for this video, its very insightful.

Now i'm happy i was defending Kanye West and not bashing him.

Question for poster:

" what about disbelievrs, or evil leaders- like Ariel Sharon / Bush or someone- does that count as well?"

[Farrah3m]

Wow, thats a good question, concerning the people who dont believe in Islam, we should not talk about them badly either, like saying they are mindless or so on, instead we should pray that Allah shows them the right way and be nice to them and show them the mercy that our Islam has taught us. As for people like Sharon, i really have no idea. May Allah show us the right path and guide us in this life so that we may be the best that we can be, InshAllah.
