Surah Al-Hujurat:
Ghibbat, Part-II
By
His grace, Allah (swt) has given me the Tawfiq
to continue on the same subject of my Friday Sermon which I started
last week on “Ghibbat”
(backbiting). It is indeed a very important subject for all members
of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam and the rest of the Muslim Ummah
in general.
When
we analyse the different Hadiths on “Ghibbat”,
we reach one same conclusion that “Ghibbat”
occurs when you are aware of the flaw of someone or you spy to know
more about him and his flaws and thereafter you spread the news
everywhere with the intention of humiliating him in the eyes of other
people.
There are such kinds of people who seize the opportunity of
big gatherings/ crowds to backbite someone, with the sole intention
of humiliating him and to abase him further in the eyes of the
people. Such people want to make everyone know about the flaws of
that person and to make them have disgust for him and to go far away
from him or even to be wary of him. When such things happen according
to the plan of the backbiter, he derives a great pleasure in it. Such
[evil-minded] people do not look at their own selves, their own flaws
and they do not ponder over the time when they will have to account
for all these misdeeds in front of their Creator. It
is the jealousy and hatred which he conceals in his heart which makes
him react and act stupidly like a malefactor/ bad guy.
Now, there is
another category of people who talks about the flaws of a person in
his absence and he takes great pleasure in it. Whenever the person is
absent, he heaps a lot of bad talks on him. When he finds himself
surrounded by people who are ready to listen to him, he seizes the
occasion to talk foolishly about the person he wants to humiliate
just because that person is not present to refute him or to defend
his honour.
So
this is a great sin and Allah (swt) says in the Quran, giving this
example: “Would any of you like to eat
the flesh of their dead brother?”
When one hears such a thing – about eating the flesh of someone,
one gets a disgust against that. A believer (Mumin)
develops a distaste for that, but on the other hand, an imbecile who
harbours hatred in heart – like an ex-so-called Amir and his
Mullahs in the Jamaat Ahmadiyya did at the beginning of the Divine
Manifestation, from the year 2001 onwards on the pulpit (minbar)
of the Noble Prophet (pbuh) – will not get any revulsion in doing
such acts. On the contrary, such people ate our flesh with appetite,
like cannibals.
