"So let my enemies say what they will. For my sins are many, and perhaps because of their backbiting and slander, my sins will be lightened and instead fall upon their shoulders."
- Shaykh Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimullaah)
Many of us backbite and gossip without thinking. We are so accustomed to it that we assume it to be a minor matter. Backbiting and slander are considered amongst the worst of major sins.
We ask Allaah to teach us that which will benefit us, and to benefit us by that which we learn. Ameen.
