HOW TO PROTECT ONESELF FROM GHEEBAT (BACKBITING)? - 3 (a talk by Mufti Taqi Usmani DB)

 What will make people fall face down in Hell?

 

In a Hadith the Holy Prophet ﷺ said;

 

“The thing that will make people fall face down in Hell will be the words that have come out of their mouth.”

 

Allah Ta’ala has granted us this machine (tongue) completely out of His mercy. It starts working since the day we are born and keeps working till the day we die. It neither needs greasing, nor service or repair. And it works so quickly that as soon as a thought comes into our mind, it pops out of our mouth through our tongue. We do not appreciate the value of this blessing because it was granted to us for free, without even having to ask for it. It has been with us since birth and has been working since then. We did not have to spend any money or make any efforts to obtain it.

SEEKING FORGIVENESS FOR GHEEBAT (BACKBITING)? - 7 (a talk by Mufti Taqi Usmani DB)

  Seek forgiveness from all your acquaintances   The next question is, who to seek forgiveness from? Who remembers how many people’s  Gheebat  we committed throughout our lives when we were completely neglectful about it? Should we draw up a list of all of them and ask all of them for forgiveness? Hadhrat Mufti Muhammad Shafi (may Allah have mercy on him) used to say that Paradise is not cheap. If you really want to go to Paradise then you will have to make some effort for it. Draw up a list of all your acquaintances, all your friends, all your relatives, and then seek forgiveness from all of them.
