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 story 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. All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2013)

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!

Those who are without religion may use ‘press-freedom’ or

'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 with unequivocal & substantiated proof; and thus

must not allow any of what they convey concerning other people

to be 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 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. All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2013)

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.

[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).

Such were the people whom Allah s.w.t, referred to as the Rightly

Guided (RAA-SYIDUUN) - May Allah make us to be like them too –

AAMIN
