Backbiting is such a common evil that even though the whole world is destroyed and luckily three persons survive, the other two will move aside and backbite about the third one.

Backbiting is perhaps the most frequently committed sin of the tongue. Regardless of the fact that Islam defines back biting as eating a dead brother’s flesh,  still  it is everyone’s favorite pastime at  homes, clubs, parks, weddings, offices, shops, even funerals and graveyards are not safe.

Backbiting is a disease of the heart.

Spreading private information or negative judgments is painful to others and reflects poorly on the backbiter.

Last week as I was sitting at a station listening to some girls talk about people I was shocked at how awful they were.

What’s gossiping?

Have you ever met someone guilty of cannibalism? Probably not, yet if many of us who gossiped were to go by any name – it would be this. This is the way backbiting is described in Islam and many of us know it.
