The Noble Quran

Backbiting Muslims!

O’  believers! Avoid many suspicions, for indeed, some suspicions are sinful. And do not spy, nor backbite one another. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of their dead brother? You would despise that.¹And fear Allāh. Surely Allāh is the Accepter of Repentance, Most Merciful.

[Surah al-Hujurāt, al-āyah 12]

¹ Backbiting people is likened to eating their dead bodies. So if eating someone’s flesh is detestable, then backbiting them is no different.

Shaykh ul-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah said:

“Thus, the reason for its prohibition lies in the fact that he is a brother, a brother in faith. For this reason, the severity of backbiting increases in proportion to the believer’s rank: the greater his faith, the graver the sin of backbiting him!“
