Q & A

Why is gossip (menggibah) considered harmful during Ramadan?

Gossiping during Ramadan can ruin the benefits of fasting. It acts as a destructive force to the shield that fasting provides, which is meant to protect individuals from harmful actions and words. If someone engages in gossip, it cancels out the protective role of fasting, rendering it ineffective.

What does the Prophet Muhammad say about fasting and guarding one's speech?

The Prophet Muhammad stated that fasting is a shield against harmful actions, including gossip. If an individual cannot guard their tongue from negative speech like gossip, their fasting becomes meaningless and futile.

How is the tongue described in the transcript in terms of its potential danger?

The tongue is described as a small yet dangerous part of the body. While other parts of the body, such as the hands or feet, can be limited in movement, the tongue is unrestricted and can cause harm through careless words, which is why it needs to be controlled.

What happens to a person's deeds if they engage in gossip, according to the transcript?

Engaging in gossip is compared to burning one's good deeds. Just like dry wood consumed by fire, good deeds, such as prayer, fasting, charity, and other acts of worship, are destroyed when a person engages in gossip.

What does the transcript say about people's imperfections and the importance of avoiding gossip?

The transcript emphasizes that everyone has flaws and imperfections. If Allah did not conceal these flaws, people would not like each other. Therefore, one should not expose others' flaws or engage in gossip, as everyone has their own shortcomings.

What is the consequence in the Hereafter for someone who exposes others' flaws, according to the script?

The script mentions that anyone who exposes the flaws of others in this life will have their own flaws exposed by Allah in the Hereafter. Conversely, those who hide the flaws of others will have their own flaws concealed by Allah in the Afterlife.

How does the transcript differentiate between gossiping and merely reading or hearing gossip?

The transcript explains that gossip involves communication between two parties, whereas reading or hearing gossip without sharing it is not considered as harmful. However, ingesting and spreading that gossip is a serious matter.

What is the advice given when others gossip or talk negatively about others?

The advice is to avoid participating in gossip, even when others are doing it. Instead, the recommendation is to steer conversations toward positive topics or engage in beneficial activities like reading the Quran or learning together, thereby avoiding negative speech.

How should one react if someone accuses them of being 'arrogant' for avoiding gossip, according to the transcript?

Instead of feeling guilty or defensive, the transcript encourages maintaining the stance of avoiding gossip, as it is better to be seen as 'arrogant' in the eyes of others than to engage in sinful behavior that displeases Allah.

What is the ultimate message regarding gossip in the transcript?

The ultimate message is to refrain from gossiping altogether, not just during Ramadan, but throughout life. Gossip harms both the individual and others, and it undermines spiritual efforts. The focus should be on engaging in positive deeds and avoiding negative speech.
