Certainly, we live in troublesome occasions, brimming with hardships. Furthermore, one of the manners in which that we are attempted by Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta'ala is by trying us with bits of gossip and how we respond to them. We are besieged with a wide range of data consistently, be it's anything but an individual, on TV, or by means of email. Also, some great hearted individuals may simply acknowledge them, accepting this piece of information as unquestionable realities coming from dependable sources. Nonetheless, as a Muslim, what is our part towards such adages and cases?
What does the Sharee'ah
say about such data?
Allaah says:
"View, you got it
on your tongues, and said out of your mouths things which you had no
information on; and you believed it's anything but a light matter, while it was
generally significant in seeing Allaah" (Surah Nur: 15)
So before we acknowledge
what anybody and everybody says, there are specific focuses to remember, as we
as a whole need to remain before Allaah one day.
1) VERIFY the news
We need to check the
data and discover, as well as could be expected, the honesty and legitimacy of
the news that contacts us. WHY? …
Since Allaah orders you
and me to be JUST
"Verily! Allâh
orders that you should deliver back the trusts to those, to whom they are
expected; and that when you judge between men, you judge with equity. Verily,
how incredible is the showing which He gives you! Genuinely, Allâh is Ever
All¬Hearer, All¬Seer." (Surah Nisaa':58)
2) Deliberate on the data
Consider what is being
said, who is saying it and about whom is he saying it, prior to trusting it.
"O you who accept!
In the event that a Faasiq (malicious individual) comes to you with any news,
confirm it, in case you should hurt individuals in obliviousness, and a short
time later you become remorseful for what you have done" [al-Hujuraat
49:6]
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu
Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:
"Consideration is
from Allaah and flurry is from the Shaytaan." (al-Silsilah al-Saheehah)
3) Examine the
conditions
Once in a while
something may show up or sound valid on a superficial level yet, you may not
have the foggiest idea about the full conditions behind the proclamation or the
report might be taken outside the current discussion.
Al-Hasan al-Basri said:
"The adherent stores judgment until the matter is demonstrated."
4) Look for PROOF
Any individual who
asserts an assertion or levels an allegation against someone else should give
verification:
"Say (O Muhammad),
Produce your confirmation in the event that you are honest"
[al-Baqarah:111]
Furthermore, in the
event that they neglect to deliver any strong verification for what they
guarantee… …
"Since they produce
not witnesses, they are the liars in seeing Allaah" [al-Noor 24:13]
5)Ask individuals in
control
Individuals in control
can clarify current realities of the matter and eliminate any disarray or
questions an individual may have,
"When there comes
to them some matter contacting (public) security or dread, they spread the word
about it (among individuals); if just they had alluded it to the Messenger or
to those accused of power among them, the legitimate specialists would have
perceived it from them (straightforwardly). Had it's anything but been for the
Grace and Mercy of Allaah upon you, you would have followed Shaytaan (Satan),
save a couple of you" [al-Nisaa' :83]
6) Stand up for the
Truth
Quest for and support
the Truth, and don't acknowledge any bogus assertions from anybody, regardless
of whether it is from somebody you love or hold near your heart.
"O you who accept!
Stand apart solidly for equity, as observers to Allâh, despite the fact that it
be against yourselves, or your folks, or your kinfolk, be he rich or poor,
Allâh is a Better Protector to both (than you). So follow not the desires (of
your souls), in case you may stay away from equity, and in the event that you
misshape your observer or decline to give it, verily, Allâh is Ever
Well¬Acquainted with what you do."(Surah Nisaa':135)
7) Beware that it could
be a LIE
The Sharee'ah issues a
harsh admonition against passing on all that one hears.
The Messenger of Allaah
(Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:
"It is sufficient
lying for a man to talk about all that he hears." (Muslim)
Al-Nawawi said:
"Normally an individual hears truth and untruths, so in the event that he
talks about all that he hears, he is lying by recounting things that didn't
occur, and lying by discussing some different option from the manner in which
it occurred… ."
(8) Beware that it could
be SLANDER
Numerous individuals
simply accept any news they hear and pass it on without halting to believe that
it may not be valid. All things considered it's anything but a defamation
against the individual that the news is about. Furthermore, defame is a
significant sin.
"Hardship to each
backbiter, slanderer." (Surah Humazah: 1)
Also, the Prophet (Sal
Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:
'No man blames another
for an indecent deed or kufr, however it will return on him, if the individual
he charges isn't as he says he is.'" (Bukhari).
"No (Muslim) man
will abandon a man who is a Muslim in where his regard might be disregarded and
his honor slandered without Allah abandoning him in where he wishes help."
(Abu Dawood - validated by Sheik al-Albani)
9) Be cautious about
what you say
"Not a word is said
aside from that there is a watcher by him prepared to record it." – [Surah
Qaf :18]
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu
Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said,
" Indeed a worker
may say a word from which Allah's disappointment is acquired and he doesn't
understand it. Allah will place him in Jahannam because of it." (Bukhaari)
"O you who accept!
Fear Allaah, and be with the individuals who are valid (in words and
deeds)" [al-Tawbah 9:119]
Furthermore, for what
reason did you not, when you heard it, say?
"It's anything but
right of us to talk about this: Glory to Allaah, this is a most significant
defamation" (Surah Nur:16)
May Allaah guide us and empower us to defend the Truth, any place it very well might be. Ameen
