Backbiting [Ghībah] The Worst Type of Generosity

Imām Ibn Taymīyyah said:

"The worst type of generosity is being generous in gifting your good deeds to others due to backbiting, tale-carrying, lying, swearing and insulting [the believers]."

See Majmoū Fatāwa [8/303]

I will mention some harms of backbiting on a societal and individual level:

Societal harms:

❖ It breaks the bond of brotherhood and creates disunity.
❖ Spreads envy, dislike, and hatred among the Muslims in the community.
❖ It spreads the practice of backbiting in the community.
❖ People’s privacies get exposed, spreads their faults and belittles them.
❖ The community start focusing on others instead of themselves.

Individual harms:

❖ The one who backbites is bankrupt on the Day of Resurrection.
❖ Increases bad deeds and decreases good ones.
❖ Leads to punishment in the grave.

Action Plan:

❖ Focus on yourself.
❖ Seek forgiveness for your fellow Muslims.
❖ Have a good opinion of your brother.

How Much Do You Remember Allāh Daily?

Qur’ān: Allāh says,

“Surely in the remembrance of Allāh do hearts find comfort"

Sūrah Ar-Ra'd: 28

Spiritual Development: Imām Ibn Taymīyyah said:

“Dhikr [Remembrance of Allāh] is to the heart as water is to a fish; see what happens when a fish is taken out of water!”

See Al-Wābil As-Sayyib [p.63].

Practical steps to remember Allāh on a daily basis:

1 - Incorporate Dhikr into daily tasks like commuting or cooking.

2 - Set fixed times each day for focused remembrance of Allāh.

3 - Use phone reminders or apps to help keep up with daily Dhikr.

4 - Start now with this Dhikr which is light on the tongue, heavy on the Scale and beloved to Allāh:

سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ ، سُبْحَانَ اللهِ الْعَظِيْم

“Allāh is free from imperfection and all praise is due to Him, Allāh is free from imperfection, the Greatest.”

The Importance of Studying The Names of Allāh

The Prophet ﷺ said, “Allāh has ninety-nine names. Whoever preserves [understands] them will enter Paradise.” Sahīh Bukhārī [no. 7392]

- “Whoever knows the names of Allāh and their meanings, believing in them, will have a more complete faith than the one who does not know them but just believes in them in general.” See Majmoū Al-Fatāwa [7/234] by Shaykhul Islām Ibn Taymīyyah.

- “Whoever knows Allāh, knows everything other than Him. Whoever is ignorant of his Lord is even more ignorant of everything other than Him.” Madārij As-Sālikīn [vol. 3, p. 351] by Imām Ibn al-Qayyim.

- "The key to the call of the Messengers, the essence of their Message, is knowing Allāh through His Names and Attributes and Deeds, because this is the foundation on which the rest of the Message, from beginning to end, is built." Sawā'iq al-Mursalah ala al-Jahamīyyah wal-Muattilah by Ibn al-Qayyim [1/150-151]

- "The more a person learns about the Names and Attributes of Allāh, the more his faith increases and the stronger his conviction becomes." Tawdīh wal-Bayān li Shajarat al-Īmān by Shaykh Abdur Rahmān As-Sa'di [p. 41].

Action plan:
- Supplicate to Allāh with His Names: "And to Allāh belong the best names, so invoke Him by them." Sūrah al-A’rāf: 180.
- We should praise Allāh with all of His Names.
- Contemplate on the meanings of the Names of Allāh.
- Strive to memorise the Names of Allāh.

📌 Supplication in the last 10 nights…

Aa'isha رضي الله عنها reported that she asked:

"O' Messenger of Allāh ﷺ! What if I knew which night Laylatul-Qadr was, then what should I say in it?"

He ﷺ said:

"Say:

"اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي"

[O' Allāh you are the one who pardons, and loves to pardon, so pardon me].

🌙 Ramadān Reminders #22: The Supplication for the Night of Qadr

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي

"O Allāh! Verily You are the Oft-Pardoning, You love to pardon, so pardon me."

Explanation of the name Al-’Afūw [ٱلْعَفُوُّ] Pardoner:

- The name Al-’Afūw [Pardoner] is mentioned in the Qur'ān five times.

- Al-’Afūw means that Allāh not only forgive the sin but also erases it and pardons the sinners by not calling them to account for those deeds.

- This Name implies that He pardons the sins of the servant. He knows the sins of His servants but He does not call the servant to account for it. The servant is deserving of punishment, and Allāh has full ability to punish His servants, but Allāh does ‘Afūw for them.

- When we ask for ‘Afūw, we are asking Allāh to completely erase the sin, such that its traces are also removed.

- Everyone is in need of His pardon and forgiveness, as they are in need of His mercy and generosity.

Action Plan:

- Mention the supplication as much as possible in these blessed nights while contemplating on the above explanation.

- Study the Beautiful Names of Allāh: Shaykhul Islām Ibn Tamīyyah mentioned, “Whoever knows the names of Allāh and their meanings, believing in them, will have a more complete faith than the one who does not know them but just believes in them in general." See Majmū' Fatāwa [vol. 7, p. 234].
