The act of backbiting has been declared
prohibited in Islam. This is the only religion which has declared it to
be haram, however its nature is detested in all cultures. Yes, in this
age, due to our pitiful state it is overlooked, but the word used to
refere to the act 'backbiting' even in the English language, signifies
its graveness. The Quran calls it cannibilism and the English language
implies the same. The sin of backbiting is grave indeed and its
consequences are very severe, yet we overlook or explain it away. Our
excuses may appease those around us today but on the Day of Judgement
we will be held to account. This talk explains what constitutes
backbiting and what its consequences hold. |
