their friendship, with the intention of reformation they would politely call them towards righteousness with wisdom. They would also help him to realize that backbiting against a Muslim or revealing his faults, brings dishonour to himself as well as that person. Remember! That person who loves to pick the faults of others, invites the Anger of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

Sayyiduna Bakr Bin Abd Muzni رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: Whenever you see a person picking out people’s faults, then it must be understood that he is an enemy of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, and has fallen into the hidden plan of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

 (Tanbeeh-ul-Mughtareen, pp.197)

With the enthusiasm to help reform people and to advise those who commit the sins of slander; tale-telling and a lot of backbiting, those who abuse, those who reveal the faults of Muslims without any justification, those who get their beards cut, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه has eloquently said:

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب           صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

It is stated in the commentary of Siraat-ul-Jinan that it is the manner of unbelievers to mock at others while they also have major faults. This disease is also widespread here that people talk about the evils of the world and commit backbiting, whilst they have more serious faults. This disease has been mentioned in a blessed Hadees as well.

(Siraat-ul-Jinan, part 2, Taht-al-Ayat, 1, 217-333)
