Backbiting (Al-Gheebah)

Al-Gheebah (Backbiting) and its Evil Effects on Muslim Society. Publisher's Note: There are many evils in the society, out of them one is Gheebah, that is Backbiting. It is said to be the worst social ill which should be avoided at all costs. Islam has forbidden and prohibited it as because of its consequences, hate and enmity among each other spread very fast spoiling the unity of Muslim nation. To backbite a person is described in our religion as eating the flesh of our dead brother. So, we should be aware of our conduct not to commit this sin which Allah dislikes and orders us to avoid it. We should also see that our children are safe from this evil from their early life so that it cannot take its place in their after years when they are fully grown up. This book clearly explains in an easy manner all the types and forms of backbiting which the children readily understand. It is the duty of the parents that they should provide their children all the necessary Islamic teachings in the age when they are most receptive to it. Giving them good books to read is a right of them upon their parents which should be duly fulfilled. We pray Allah to enable us to perform our rights in the most appropriate manners.
