*    The backbiter will be forced to eat their own flesh in Hell.

*    The backbiter will beg for death as they run between boiling water and fire in Hell, and even the inhabitants of Hell will despise them.

*    The backbiter will be the first to enter Hell.^[1]

May Allah Almighty protect us! May Allah Almighty grant us the ability to refrain from backbiting, talebearing, slander, lying, breaking promises, and other sins and to engage in good deeds that make us deserving of Paradise.

اٰمِیْنْ بِجَاہِ خاتَمِ النَّبِیّٖن صلَّی اللہُ عَلَیْہ ِوَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ

Amassing wealth

Dear Islamic brothers, who else is deserving of the valley of Wayl in Hell? Allah Almighty says:

الَّذِیْ جَمَعَ  مَالًا  وَّ عَدَّدَہٗ ۙ(۲)

who amassed wealth and counted it.^[2]

Note: Collecting wealth for one’s necessities and keeping count of it is permissible in Islam and is not a sin. However, there are certain forms of amassing wealth that are extremely harmful, such as:

*    Earning and hoarding wealth through unlawful means

*    Failing to fulfil the obligatory duties (like Zakat) on the accumulated wealth
