Muslim Bookmark's Description: Backbiting is a sickness that afflicts our communities. It leads to hatred, rancor, discord, and disunity among people.

Allah says about backbiting in the Quran: O ye who believe! Avoid suspicion as much (as possible): for suspicion in some cases is a sin: And spy not on each other behind their backs. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Nay, ye would abhor it...But fear Allah. For Allah is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful(49:12)

Imagine how our lives would be if we could focus on the good of others rather than their faults as the Prophet (PBUH) recommended us to do.

Do not harm Muslims, and do not revile them, nor pursue their imperfections. For verily, whosoever pursues the imperfections of his brother shall have his own imperfections pursued by Allah(Sunan of al Tirmidhi)
