As Muslims, we are to hold all our brothers and sisters with

equal respect, without harbouring any ill-thoughts concerning them.

Their honour and dignity has to be safeguarded, as Islam guarantees

it.

But how often, our attitude towards our brother or sister would

easily be affected because of news that is maliciously disseminated

to disparage him/her.

Whether, in the first place, is it right or wrong to spread such

news, or whether the story is true or lies, seemed unimportant -

because we would have allowed the poison to affect our opinion of

the person concerned.

How easily we give credence to it. We are quick to accuse, even

though we may not be uttering it? The honour we held for our

brother/sister quickly dissipate, and every actions done by him/her

is scrutinised as though to implicate or rather with a view to confirm

what we had already concluded in our minds. In fact we have

already judged him/her unjustly.

Seldom, if ever, do we seek to verify from the person concerned,

but we feel satisfied just with this news, although one-sided,

unverified, and we shamelessly feel no qualms about acting

prejudicially.

Sometimes, we began to behave pretentiously in front of the

poor brother/sister as though we are not aware of the news. Why

pretend? .... it is because we felt ashamed for ourselves for not

defending his/her honour in his/her absence.

Spreading news negatively about somebody to others is a

cowardly act!

To condone it, would be to implicate oneself with this same guilt as

the one who started it. Rumour-mongering (spreading untruth about

others) is indeed, not only a very dangerous and despicable social ill,

it is amongst the list of forbidden acts called "kaba-ir" (major sins).

Alas for us who may inadvertently been exposed to these, we

must guard ourselves from believing in it, and we must not allow such

unverified assertion to draw us into sinning against our brother/sister

concerned.

Yet why do our nafs (desire or self) likes or is inclines to listen to

such news concerning others? News of scandals and 'juicy' gossips of

an acquaintance is welcomed or even sought. Perhaps we are merely

pampering to our self-conceit which wants assurance of its own

‘superiority' over others; that feeling of "holier than thou!" attitude

which gives us 'satisfaction'.

Thus our pre-occupation with the alleged "faults" of others,

makes us forget that we are the ones that is at fault, nay, clearly the

ones who are guilty of a grave sin.

In this day and age, with information technology advancing and

dissemination of news becoming easy, the pertinent moral question

of - "is spreading negativity (even, if it is true) of a person to the

general public, a sin or not?" is never even asked by Muslims!

'public interest', as justification - but can Muslims use this excuse?

What does Islam has to say regarding this?

If we encounter such tale-bearers, we should hold to doubting

them unless it comes with unequivocal & substantiated proof; and

thus we must not allow any of what they convey concerning other

people to be irresponsibly disseminated. This should stop with us.

Yet, many of us even became the very channel for many unverified

news about others to spread!

Especially today in the virtual internet world where such 'forward-

ings' seems so easy on a mere click. Some have no qualms to even

post on their websites, FB’s , Twitters such malicious tales, photos,

etc. casting aspersion upon people who may be unaware of it or are

unable to respond or defend themselves .

Those guilty of such despicable act should stop and seek

reparation, if not they are actually indulging, constantly and

repeatedly in this sin of 'defamation' from the time they put it up

for others to access. They are in fact slandering continuously

without having to even speak. They are in fact chalking up sins, at

a tremendous pace daily - nay, each time whenever there are

people reading their postings and harbouring negative thoughts on

the person being maligned.

And they think Allah s.w.t. will not judge them - that their book

of record is not constantly being kept updated? Ever wonder how

would such wrong done could ever be undone?! Yet, it persists!

There are some who uses absurd qualifying phrase to somewhat

justify their behaviour, like "I know this is not confirm, but do you

know that so-and-so...."; or "actually I am not suppose to tell anyone

but,...." etc. If others were to do the same to us, cast a slur upon our

reputations, we would not have liked it, yet, why aren't we careful

when our own indulgence affect the reputations of our other

brothers/sisters?

Remember the ruling (hukm) against those who slander against the

honour of another brother/sister is indeed considered a grave

oppression - a "defamation" - against them. And they would have a

strong claim against those who wronged them by turning to Allah.

Many of us, shamelessly entertain the thought that we are

perfect. Some even seek out Western motivational books &

courses that promote enhancement of their 'super-ego'.

Thus their attitude towards others will be affected by this

delusion, accentuated by seeing the faults in others, not in

themselves. Many of us may still be struggling with but still

controlled by our 'nafs al-amaa-rah' (our commanding self), which

makes us become pre-occupied with others to distract us from

looking at what is in us.

Our hands are quick to point at others, yet we forget that,

fingers in that same hand is in fact pointing back at us. We should

reflect and ask ourselves:

"Is this the behaviour and attitude of a Muslim?" are we not

ashamed! – IT-TAQIL-LAAH! (So Be fearful of Allah!)

[1] They see Faith (iiman) as something most dear and valuable; a

bestowal from Allah to them. They were very careful in striving to

preserve this. They indulge constantly in seeking forgiveness of

Allah s.w.t. seeking to remove any stain or blemishes upon their

Faith (iiman). Thus, any act or deeds which compromises this

would be rejected out right.

[2] Not only that, Faith (iiman) is adorned in their hearts. If the

''Qalb"(mind/heart) is the centre from which radiates all our

actions, then from such people will manifest everything which

such Faith (iiman) represents. They exude every goodness.

[3] When their hearts is filled with Faith (iiman), then it definitely

will react against any other values contrary to Faith (iiman). It

resent and is hateful towards "Kufr" (denial of Truth); "Fusuq"

(iniquities or sinful things) and "Isw-yaan" (rebellion against

goodness).

In our social relationship, some of us find it amusing to ridicule,

mock, jeer, scoff at, laugh, make fun or taunt at others. It is

especially so, when we are in a kind of cliques or grouping.

Why do we do this? It is due to our self-conceit and arrogance.

Never for a moment do we consider that such behaviour is wrong. In

such association or gathering, each one tries to deflect attention of

their own defects by projecting the weakness of others, especially of

those people we consider to be outside our circle, outside our group.

We feel secure with our buddies, joking and laughing like the old

witches of "Macbeth" who fail to see their own evil and ugliness.

Some of us even considers it a norm to do this, and any attempt

at changing this behaviour amongst our peers is met with

accusations of having "no sense of humour", "too serious", "no fun

to be with" etc. But the "joke" is actually on us if we indulge in such

practice, as Allah s.w.t. says: "it may well be that the one derided is

better" than ourselves.

Deriding others has many forms. Verbal derision, sarcasm, by

gesturing, mimicking or even giving nicknames - which aims at

ridiculing the person. If we are to analyze what motivates our

actions, it is that unashamed pride and conceit we think of

ourselves.

And because we are used to directing these derision towards

others, we do not feel how it can possibly hurt. But - What if others

were to do it to us?

Although in this verse, by using the male gender it generally is

quite sufficient and usually applies to both, male and female, yet

Allah repeated the command by specifically addressing the women,

lest some people may try to excuse themselves from this command

just because they are not men. This, indeed, demonstrates the

seriousness of the command, that it is to be observed by every

Muslim, as it removes any ambiguity, lest some may try to seek

excuse by legalistic arguments. There is no doubt that this

commandment applies to every Muslim - both male & female.

So every mankind must be respected.

Some perhaps may have tarnished this God-given honour upon

themselves but, we are not to seek out nor assume this, but we
