*Much I Do About Nothing*
-------------------------------------
SEASONAL REMINDER
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
It's sympathetic to allow Debit Alert visit our account of good deeds especially for issues we can avoid easily. This is because, *The only thing that helps on the day if judgement is our own good deeds*. Yes — the rewards that we have earned, by the grace of Allah, through doing righteous deeds in our life, like praying, fasting, giving zakah and charity, being kind to your parents, family, neighbors, etc
So,
If we backbitten or slander, then, it's a *"Debit Alert"* we are allowing to ring bell 🔔 in our account of good deeds. Yes. It's our rewards of good deeds we are dashing out.
Remember,
On the day of judgement, everyone of us will despirately be in need of rewards. And NO one can buy good deeds or rewards on that day, simply because there are none for sale😃. No one will sell you, lend you, or give you *one single good deed or reward* , not even your own mother.
Therefore,
Speak good and be rewarded, or remain silent and be safe. 📚Evidence: Hadith No 15 of 40 Hadith of an-Nawawi:
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه و سلم قَالَ: "مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاَللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْرًا أَوْ لِيَصْمُتْ
Abu Hurayrah (ra), that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: *"Let him who believes in Allah and the Last Day speak good, or keep silent"*
Don't forget that,
Backbitting is 👉 *“To discuss your brother or sister in his/her absent in a way he/she dislikes if heard. even If what you say about him/her is true, it is *backbiting* 📚 Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2589
Obedient Servant Of Allah!
The Prophet (saw) said, "A man will not only lose all rewards for his good deeds, but he will have to bear the sins of his victims, as he has run out of rewards and is now unable to redress his wrongdoing🙆♀. Therefore he will become a real bankrupt and a loser, and then will be thrown into Hellfire.
My brother My sister!
Today, many of us dont filter imformation b4 broadcasting.. And we see people mindlessly backbitting & slandering their FELLOW muslims - "see his shoe like harmmer❗She does not have morethan 2 hijjab❗Her husband sent her to her fathers' house last week❗He made money over-night and nobody knows how he made it❗She came to borrow cassava powder from me to cook for her children bcos her husband is broke❗His wife has moved out of his house❗She asked for extra food when she attend my sisters' wedding❗ etc .. Why all these❓
And,
Even listening to backbitting is also a sin😳. Yes. Allah, the Exalted, says:
"And when they hear Al-Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk) they withdraw from it.'' 📚(Q28:55)
The Prophet (saw) said: “The listener is one of the two backbiters.”
Therefore,
It is obligatory on the one who hears an individual embarking on backbiting, to forbid him from doing it as long as he does not fear any open harm resulting from that. But if he does fear (harm) from that, then he is obligated to reject the backbiting with his heart and to detach himself from that gathering if he is able to do so. If he has the ability to reject it with his tongue or to cut the backbiting off by changing the topic, then that becomes required of him. And if he does not do that, then he has committed an act of disobedience (i.e. sinned).
But,
If he is forced to stay in that gathering in which backbiting is taking place, and he fears from forbidding it, or he forbids it but it is not accepted from him and he cannot find a way to separate himself from them, then he is prohibited from listening and paying attention to the backbiting. Instead, his way out should be by making remembrance of Allaah (dhikr) with both his tongue and heart.. Or he should think about something else in order to preoccupy himself from having to listen to it.
Allah alone knows best
