*INSULT AND INSULTING OTHERS*
Abusing a believer is like throwing oneself into destruction and making fun of a believer is a serious sin.. Yes.. To make fun of a believer’s actions, traits or habits in a manner that people find it funny and laugh. Whether it is done verbally or by actions.
InshaaAllah....This article is prepared to serve as a reminder to u & i,, and for us to have a deep REFLECTION on the lessons in the hadith below:
👉 Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Do you know who is bankrupt?” They said, “The one without money or goods is bankrupt.” The Prophet said, “Verily, the bankrupt of my nation are those who come on the Day of Resurrection with prayers, fasting, and charity,, *but also with INSULTS, slander, consuming wealth, shedding blood, and beating others* . The oppressed will each be given from his good deeds. If his good deeds run out before justice is fulfilled, then their sins will be cast upon him and he will be thrown into the Hellfire.”

*INSULTING PEOPLE:*
A Muslim utters a mere word upon his or her tongue thoughtlessly, without any consideration, and without thinking that he or she will be taken to task for it.. Yes... It's Indeed something about which,, many people are heedless or don't care about.
▪️The prohibitions of the tongue are that you do not lie,, abuse,, use foul language,, backbite,, and do not slander... Yes.. This is bcos the tongue is protected by the teeth and then the lips which should act as a padlock 🔐 when indulging in loose talk.
Oh you who believe❗
Some of us choose to *dash-away* their rewards of good deeds to others.. Yes.. Anyone we INSULT *(children or adult)* ,, it is our rewards of good deeds we are burning.. And this is why we should have more control over our speech
👉Abu Hurairah (RA) narrates: “The Prophet said that :~ "Whoever wronged his brother with regard to his honor or any other matter,, should seek his forgiveness today before there are no longer any dinars,, or dirhams; and if he has any righteous deeds,, they will be taken from him,, in accordance with the wrong he did; and if he has no hasanaat (good deeds),, some of the sayyi`aat (bad deeds) of his counterpart will be taken and added to his burden.”
📚[Bukhari]
*THE CO-WIVES*
What is common amongst co-wives today is discussing the other co-wive secretly,, insulting and ridiculing her all in the name of jealousy.
👉 Allah (swt) say:
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا يَسْخَرْ قَوْمٌ مِّن قَوْمٍ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونُوا۟ خَيْرًا مِّنْهُمْ وَلَا نِسَآءٌ مِّن نِّسَآءٍ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُنَّ خَيْرًا مِّنْهُنَّ ۖ وَلَا تَلْمِزُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَلَا تَنَابَزُوا۟ بِٱلْأَلْقَٰبِ ۖ.........
O you who have believed,, let not a people ridicule [another] people,; perhaps they may be better than them in the side of Allah; nor let women ridicule [other] women; perhaps they may be better than them in the side of Allah.. And do not insult one another and do not call each other by [offensive] nicknames......." 📚Al-Hujuraat (49:11)
Furthermore......
Muslims are not permitted to insult even someone who is not a muslim. Yes.. Allah (swt) say in surah Al-An'aam (6:108)
وَلَا تَسُبُّوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَيَسُبُّوا۟ ٱللَّهَ عَدْوًۢا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ ۗ ......
And do not insult those who invoke things other than Allah, except they insult Allah in enmity without knowledge......"
*F I N A L L Y:*
The sin of abusing a believer is more serious than Ghiība (backbiting). Yes.. This is so because,, abuse is more hurtful than Ghiība (backbiting).. Ghiība is done behind a person’s back but abuse in his/her presence or even in the person's absence.
So........
Even if someone abuses us,, that still does not give us the right to abuse them.. Yes.. Bcos two wrongs don't make a right,, and we will be rewarded for our patience.
