Look only at your own faults

One of the solutions of staying safe from backbiting is that when you wish to point out the faults of others, you should pay attention to your own faults and should try to overcome them as it is a great privilege to become busy overcoming your own faults.

The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated, ‘Good news is for the one whose faults prevent him from finding faults with others.’

He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم further said: The person who conceals the fault of his brother after seeing it, will be made to enter Paradise.

(Tanbih-ul-Mughtarrin, pp. 197)
