The Ulama and other scholars continue to condemn this contagious ailment that is rife among all walks of life. The ongoing condemnation of this scourge in society is exactly the reason why so much is spoken about it and why so much is written about this plague from time to time.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"itemFullText\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Backbiting is a very serious \u201csickness\u201d and may lead to innumerable fitn\u00e3s (mischief). Common to many, is the breaking of family ties and friendship. Sadly, the breakdown of marriages has also become a dirty outcome of backbiting. Allah Ta\u2019ala abhors this despicable and vile behaviour. Our beloved Nabi-e-Akram, Janab-e-Muhammad Mustapha (\ufdfa) describes this shameful and evil acts in the strongest possible terms: \u201c \u2026 backbiting is akin to one eating the flesh of his dead brother&#8230;\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">One shudders to hear of the consequences of the severe punishment that awaits a \u2018back-biter\u2019 in the hereafter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">From among the many narrations on the subject of \u2018backbiting\u2019 is the one reported by Asma bint Yazeed (RA). She reports that she heard Nabi (Salallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) saying :<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cThat person who dispels (i.e. whatever is spoken of his brother), and upholds his honour, then Allah (Jalla Shaanuhu) declares the fire of Jahannam free from him\u201d. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">(Musnad-e-Ahmad)<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This hadith discusses another vital dimension to this epidemic. One should not only give a deaf ear to whatever is said about a person in his\/her absence, but should also dispel the thought from his\/her mind and protect the honour and dignity of his\/her absent brother\/sister. Allah Ta\u2019ala loves this person and indemnifies him\/her from the fire of hell.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\">http:\/\/www.darulihsan.com<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Much has been written about the subject of Gheebah (backbiting).
