Can you afford to donate £1/day for 30 days now in Ramadan??
That’s about £30 in total.
BUT what we get in will be £100 because LAUNCHGOOD has a so-called ”RAMADAN” campaign that means if you approve a deduction of £1 per day, they will donate £100 in your name!!!
How crazy is that??
This is only valid until Sunday!!!!”

Oh Allah how can I be granted a love for the sake of you in the most purest form?
A love for a man who leads me into Jannah, holding my hand firmly and choosing to never let go despite my stubbornness.
A man like Ali رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ who was cold as ice but melted in the hands of the warm Fatima رضي الله عنها
Who was jealous of a simple stick that touched her teeth. Who woke up from an argument saying, “By Allah she is most beloved to me.” Who was the strongest soldier, but needed help carrying his own wives body.
Who stood by her graveside, and said “what is wrong with me standing at the graveside saying salaam to the one who has passed? The grave of my lover but she is not responding to my greeting. My lover why aren’t you responding to my salaam? Have you forgotten all of the intimate moments that were shared by the two of us?”
Oh Allah, you haven’t forbid love in this religion.
Yaqub عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ cried out for his son, and became blind due to grief. But you did not tell him he’s wrong for loving him, you comforted him and healed his blindness.
You told Musa عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ mother that she’ll be okay, she’ll be reunited with her son once more. And you reunited them.
You made Hawa out of Adam عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ rib. Not from his head to be above him, or his feet to be below him. But, from his side to be equal to him. Under his arm to be protected by him, and near his heart to be loved by him.
You did not harden their hearts, you know your creation.
You don’t tell us that love is forbidden. You reward us when we smile at a stranger. Giving somebody directions is charity.
You yourself are Al Wadood, the most loving.
Love is not wrong, despite what I had believed previously. Love is right when done for Allah, the source of love. Love brings us closer to you, and is only dangerous when you don’t love Allah first. The only marriages that truly have blessings from Allah is the ones where Allah is the foundation of it.
You know the deepest desires in my heart, that whisper despite my voice screaming out otherwise.
How can I love the righteous even though I am not one of them? How can I love good deeds despite the oceans of sins I am drowning in? How can I love the Quran although I am slow in memorizing? How can I love namaz even when I am lazy to stand in prayer?
Show me ya Allah.
So I ask again ya Rab, how can I be granted a love for the sake of you.. in the most purest form?
And I ask you.. my future husband.
Do you know what love for the sake of Allah is?

anyone else thinking about an arab/Islamic traffic series AU???? Because I sure as hell am! While I'm not muslim, I am arab, and islam is everywhere around me and I haven't seen ANYBODY represent it in the traffic Life series fandom.... so I might as well create an AU.
(There will be fully Muslim people, agnostics and atheists.)
Badboys are siblings. Growing up together, Joel and Grian were always closer, sharing perhaps problematic views in Islam. Their parents being unsupportive, they cut contact as they enter college. Jimmy, who is clueless about why, is still in contact with his brothers. While he plans on keeping contact with his parents---they don't expect him to, and, naturally, the contact starts fading away.
Jimmy goes into college and reunites with his brothers. Turns out, Grian is now atheist, while Joel is still very much a muslim. A few years later, Joel gets engaged with Lizzie, a hijabi.
Lizzie was Grians best friend growing up. And she fully believe evrrybody is capable of going to heaven even if they dont believe in Allah, because he is forgiving. she also fully believes Grian will go to hell.
Grian has been very vocal about his belief in God. Not only that he doesn't exist, but that if he did, he was a fucking asshole. That doesn't stop him from being Lizzies bestie.
going into college, Jimmy meets Tango, who is also Arabic, and soon learns that he is very very gay. He comes to Grian about his struggles---worried what that could mean about his beliefs---who tells him its fine and Joel and lizzie aren't judgmental people. Joel then proceeds to stalks Tangos socials, which tells him he is also religious, so he approves of Tango. Blablabla ranchers slow burn.
Later, when tango and Jimmy are a couple, there's this white guy with blue hair who catches their eye.
Scott is absolutely crushing hard on Jimmy, but he also knows he's Muslim sk he's kinda like im pretty sure he's not gay. But Scott is very much out as gay and lizzie doesn't seem to hate his guts so he's like eh maybe those are just stereotypes,,,,,
Then he sees Jimmy and tsngo kissing and he's like okay yeah those are definitely stereotypes but there is no way I'm able to get with them now
(He does get with them)
Im also thinking about a whole lot of small scenarios,,,, like Jimmy and tsngo teaching Scott Arabic.
And and Jimmy and Tango going to "celebrate" christmas with Scott's family.
Aid witht he fam would be AMAZING, there would be badboys, scott & lizzie, and ZITS. Zedaph woluld be the one to slay the sheep (he's not muslim. For their sake, he does say "bismillah" before killing it). Skizz inniciates prayers (he's muslim). everyone that isn't praying is preparing the sheep.
Grian and Lizzie would go on full on argument about songs. Lizzie doesn't listen to music AT ALL (except when she's at like,,, parties so.) and Lizzie is fucking HATING on lyrics. For exemple, sailor song, "I dont believe in god, but i believe that you're my savior" SHE IS HATING. Grian will be defending his songs with his heart and soul. Then Scott comes around and he's like uh,,, i kinda like that song,,, and Lizzie says "its fine ur allowed but GRIAN THOUGH--" and they fight.
so. many. possibilities. i will write thise one day, but for now, this is yours tumblr.

Once you experience loving fellow muslims for the sake of Allah you will increase In gratitude to Allah, for how He united you regardless of age, colour, ethnicity and language.
And once you meet fellow muslims whom you love and appreciate for nothing but for them being muslim your heart will soften and you will gasp in amazement from Allah’s abundant mercy on you.
How once you were with misguided companions and then abandoned them for the sake of Allah so you became lonely and deprived, and then Allah granted you from His mercy without a single effort from you.
I have an experience that I find worthy of sharing.
A few years back I had ‘friends’ who were far away from righteousness, and my company with them was only a way I used in order to not remain lonely.
I could feel my heart darken every single minute I spent with them, and I could feel my soul slowly losing its way towards Allah.
I always wanted to leave, but I was hesitant, and would always ask Allah for guidance.
So one day Allah caused me to abandon them by force for an argument we had, and He kept me steadfast during my loneliness.
I remember every single night I would make dua to Allah to grant me righteous friends with whom I would tread this tough path, I spent about a year and a half completely lonely, I had no friends besides my siblings -whom I didn’t share much interests with due to age difference and other aspects-.
Until one day I found myself before a new test: outwardly “pious” people who are not on the manhaj. I ended up befriending people who were “righteous” but didn’t share the same beliefs as me, people who slandered my scholars and brothers.
Their effect in my heart was much deeper, they almost made me doubt my beliefs completely, until I fled with my deen again, and found myself , yet another time, in seclusion.
With no one accompanying me and aiding me but Allah, and then the lessons of Shaykh Ahmad Jibril upon which I was obssessing at that time.
During all this time I never stopped asking Allah to grant me righteous companions, then, at a time in which my loneliness became almost unbearable, Allah’s relief came: I found myself surrounded by the same people I always wished to be friends with, with righteous friends whom one single minute with them makes you forget years of loneliness. Friends who cause you to thank Allah daily from how beautiful their companionship is. And companions whom I never imagined to find anywhere outside islam. Anywhere outside this manhaj.
My conclusion from All this, and the message I want to convey is that Allah is the controller of hearts, and He’s the one who blesses us with righteous companions -from friends AND spouses- so you might as well… ask Him? Instead of fully relying on your means…
And never let your loneliness cause you to stop being picky with whom you spend your valuable time with, choose wisely.
And a righteous friend is better than loneliness, and loneliness is better than an evil friend.
So be patient for Allah’s relief comes exactly when its best for you.

If someone says "I love you for the sake of Allah," a suitable reply would be: "And may He for whose sake you love me, love you" (Arabic: "أَحَبَّكَ الَّذِي أَحْبَبْتَنِي لَه") which is a traditional Islamic expression signifying that you reciprocate the love based on Allah's pleasure.
Key points about this response:
Meaning:
This phrase expresses the hope that Allah will also love the person who loves you for His sake.
Importance of intention:
"Loving for the sake of Allah" implies a deep commitment to shared Islamic values and seeking to please Allah through your relationship.
Alternative expressions:
You could also simply say "And I love you for the sake of Allah" to acknowledge the sentiment.

foaming in the mouth for your HCS!!!!!!!! I need more! It's so interesting, especially Duke and Damian's relationship! Like, when did this first start? who initiated?
Okay so i have a few different ideas but damian is ultimately the one that brings duke in.
damian likes duke from the beginning. Thinks that someoen who asks him about his mother and doesn't treat him like a monster is someone he can respect. Damian even if he'll never admit it, is pretty insecure about being considered a monster. He's not a monster in his own eyes, he's just willing to do anything for the people he loves. HIs siblings don't really call him a monster after an... incident but many other people do.
they grow close through sharing their art. Duke shares his writing with damian and damian shares his art with duke. They critic each other but are always very gentle with one another. Damian enjoys having someone around that needs a gentle hand.
Eventually he calls the others all together and tells them straight up "I want thomas. As ours."
Jason kind of called this, and he is entirely unsuprised by their closeness because on rare occasions he's been allowed to join them.
Dick is of the opinion that having someone else to manage them all would be amazing because everyone listens to Duke, and wants to make them happy.
Duke in all of my au's is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns. Switches between being fem and masc.
Tim kind of stalks Duke's socials and finds every single one of their secret accounts.
finds out that duke has the biggest crush on all of them, and lets damian know to put the plan in place.
Damian starts training shirtless for ease, and invites Duke to spar with them. Tries to end it with him straddling duke every single time to make duke get the hint for allah's sake.
Dick comes by the manor more and actually apologizes for the rooftop incident. Takes duke out to the narrows and to his friend's hangouts, never judges when duke comes back crying.
Jason invites duke to cook with him, trying to bond with him
Cass loves to dance with duke because they're strong enough to preform cool moves with her.
Steph just lets duke come to her. They do their makeup together and watch trashy movies.
Tim stalks them, all of the fucking time and honestly doesn't know how else to bond. Damian and Jason take pity and send them to watch superhero movies together.
Duke eventually corners Damian, around everyone else. Gets kissed on the mouth hard and doesn't know what to do with themself.
"shamsi, We want you to join our relationship." Duke malfunctions and tries to run. Damian doesn't let them. each of them sort of explains little by little how everything started and why they want duke to join them.
duke eventually bursts into tears and finds themself being held by dick of all people.
"I remind you all, I called dibs on firsts."
"You already kissed them, my turn." Dick is an excellent kisser even if his skin is colder then damian's.
Duke in the end doesn't feel like there's any other way. They aren't quote unquote normal anymore and these people are willing to embrace them, and love them where they're at.
(Should be noted that the bats made duke feel like they did not have another option and that no one outside of their world would ever be able to truly understand them.)

ten stages of a Muslim believer ♡



"Surely, men who submit themselves to God and women who submit themselves to Him, and believing men and believing women, and obedient men and obedient women and truthful men and truthful women, and men steadfast in their faith and steadfast women, and men who are humble and women who are humble, and men who give alms and women who give alms, and men who fast and women who fast, and men who guard their chastity and women who guard their chastity, and men who remember Allah much and women who remember Him — Allah has prepared for all of them forgiveness and a great reward" (33:36)
if you think about this quote, you might see that these 10 attributes actually lead on from each other. they're almost like different stages one after the other that ultimately lead to a complete devotion to Allah سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ and a way of living. for example:
submission to 'submit' means to accept. so submitting requires one to accept the truth of Allah through reason and common sense. for example, you look around in the world and think - 'there is definitely a Creator who made all of this'. it's common sense. so you submit yourself to Allah.
believe this submission leads to the belief in Allah. to believe, you combine your emotions and feelings with reason. you're not just accepting that there is a God, you truly believe in Him.
obey your belief in God then leads you to obey Him. He is your Lord. you've submitted, you believe and now you're attracted towards your Creator and you love Him and want to please Him. so you obey His commands.
be truthful obeying Him now means that you take on certain attributes, honesty being one of them. you face trials and tribulations but remain honest. you tell the truth even when it's hard.
be patient the trials and tribulations that you face in this life now give you sabr, a beautiful realisation that you're free from the love of wordly things and instead, understand that this life is a temporary abode. so you're patient and take hardship on for His sake as you wait for the great reward of the true life, the true home. Jannah.
be humble however, through these trials and through patience, you still remain humble. you understand that as humans, we are weak and Allah is completely perfect and have humility in prayer and are free from arrogance in your heart towards other people.
give charity being patient and humble now make you realise that you should be selfless and give to others, share your blessings with those who are less fortunate than you
fast this is also a sacrifice, a greater sacrifice than just giving money. you sacrifice your needs - food and water - to attain righteousness, be more conscious of the blessings He provides and for a reminder of those less fortunate than us. that comes with being humble and patient.
be chaste a believer also guards themselves to block out any access to sin, are morally pure in all ways - physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually chaste and pure. this also comes with submitting, believing, obeying, patience, humility and selfless acts as they make you more righteous, and in turn, make you want to be chaste
remember God through having these attributes and making these actions, you remember Allah through it all. you praise Him, you do it for His sake. not to show other people, but are so engrossed in his Bounty that you remember Him with all that you do. everything reminds you of Him. there's nothing that doesn't remind you of Him.
#opened the Qur'an to this quote today and really needed it and thought about it and knew i had to make a post on it#excited to Qur'an journal more and interpret and analyse more and journal my thoughts :')#islam#muslim#sabrgirl#ramadan#religion#prayers#allah#islamic#quran#muslims#dua#salah#salat#God#zikr

Bismillah— In the name of Allah
The Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said, "Convey from me, even if it's just one verse".
This is my small attempt at acting on this hadith. I'm a student of Islamic knowledge, dedicated to learning for the sake of Allah. This space will be for sharing reflections, reminders, and lessons I learn along the way.
May Allah grant sincerity, and allow this to be beneficial for me and whoever reads it. آمين.

I can't believe it 🥹
As you all know I just launched my deployment campaign last week and we've already raised enough to feed 25 families for one month! Alhamdulillah! ❤️
Each food pack costs £60 each, and we have 75 more to feed for one month, can you help by taking on the responsibility of one or two families?
Friday and Jumuah are a day of prayer, reflection and giving to the needy. In this blessed time, when the rewards for good deeds are greatest, I want to remind you contribute to help make a difference
Let's spread kindness together and give back to those who need it most, you can donate here.
Remember no amount is too small 🙏❤️

The Quran gives us many cases of people who act based on their desires or what they feel & want in the moment. The brothers of Yusuf acted on their envy. The wife of the Aziz acted on her lusts. The women of Egypt acted on their haughtiness and spread gossip. The leaders of Quraish & Bani Israel acted on their arrogance. The men of the garden acted on their greed and refused to share their fruits with the poor. Shaytan acted on his envy and continues to be too arrogant to seek forgiveness from Allah. They all share one thing in common: they act from a place of desire. What they do rests upon what they *feel* like doing or what feels good, even if it is wrong. They treat people based on how they feel and what they want. They lack character, consistency, and a sense of self that is rooted in their relationship with Allah.
And the Quran gives us many cases of people who restrain themselves even when it’s difficult for the sake of Allah. Yusuf refuses to acquiesce to the wife of the Aziz regardless of desire. He refuses to seek revenge toward his brothers regardless of their betrayal. He refuses to respond to his brothers’ hurtful comments regardless of his pain. Yaqoub forgives his sons regardless of his grief because of their deceitful scheming. Musa chooses to face Pharaoh regardless of his fear. The Prophet ﷺ continued to preach and prayed for Quraish regardless of the sting of rejection and betrayal from his own people. All these people share one thing in common: the act based on their values. Based on what would please Allah. Values are eternal and feelings are fleeting, so they act based on those eternal truths and take them as a guiding compass.
It takes practice and you won’t always get it right. But clinging to your values will guide you to recognize that you made a mistake and immediately seek to rectify it for Allah. That’s what separated Adam and Shaytan ✨

Do you know what an awliyah is?
Awliya is the plural of wali, which means a friend, guardian, or protector. These are the friends of Allah who are pious, and righteous.
The closest thing to an awliyah is a saint.
“Indeed, the allies (awliya") of Allah there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve. They are those who believed and were conscious of Allah."
(10:62-63)
Some examples of awliyahs are the sahabah, (companions of the prophet ﷺ) ahlul bayt (family of the prophet ﷺ,) and scholars.
But, some awliyahs are unknown in this dunya but known in the heavens up above.
"Perhaps a person with disheveled hair, covered in dust, whom people look down upon, if he swears by Allah, Allah will fulfill it." - Sahih Muslim 2622
The 2 main qualities of an Awliyah were mentioned.
1. Someone who has strong iman (faith)
2. And someone who has Taqwa, who is God conscious. Constantly aware of Allah, you know He is always watching so you abstain from sin and enjoin good.
Here are some tips to strengthen your relationship with الله
Pray Sunnah prayers and try not to delay the fardh (obligatory) and be sincere in worship
“My servant does not draw near to Me with anything more beloved to Me than the religious duties I have obligated upon him. And My servant continues to draw near to Me with extra acts of worship (Nawafil) until I love him." - Sahih Bukhari 6502
Read the Quran daily, and apply it in your life. Try memorizing it whilst also understanding what is being said, why, etc.
Do not rush your tongue trying to memorize ' a revelation of' the Quran. It is certainly upon us to 'make you' memorize and recite it. So once We have recited a revelation 'through Gabriel', follow its recitation closely then it is surely upon us to make it clear 'to you'."
(76:16-18)
Do istigfhar daily. This will help you get rid of sins. It also cleans your heart in a way. Search up the miracles of istighfar! Many people get their duas accepted when doing this multiple times a day.
"If anyone continually asks pardon, Allah will appoint for him a way out of every distress, and a relief from every anxiety". -Sunan Abi Dawud 1518
Seek knowledge! This is obligatory upon every Muslim. Take Quran classes, study tafsir, aqeedah, figh, etc. Theirs many resources online like amau student of knowledge academy, & university of Medina has some textbooks online shared.
Research what "fard ayn" is. This is individually obligatory knowledge and "fard kifayah" is
Did you know the angels lower their wings for the seeker of knowledge out of respect? -Abu Dawud 3641
Constantly make dua. Allah loves when His servant makes dua, it shows you trust Him. Dont get discouraged if it isn't accepted as fast as you think it is. Also keep in mind that some things that you made dua but didn't get in this dunya will show up on the day of judgement for you as good deeds.
“And when My servants ask you concerning Me, indeed I am near. I respond to the call of the supplicant when he calls upon Me..."
(2:186)
Try your best to go of sins for the sake of Allah. If you are struggling, drown your sin in good deeds.
If you let go of something for the sake of Allah, He will reward you and give you something better than what was taken from you inshaAllah. Tabaruji, Zina, backbiting..
Be grateful!
Do dhikr on a daily basis. Keep your tongue moist with the remembrance of Allah. He is always protecting you, and has answered your duas without you even noticing.
Keep your good deeds between you and Allah and increase in them. For example, charity, help your family, even provide some water for an animal. Always make your intention for the sake of Allah. Even working out, brushing your teeth, can be seen as taking care of yourself; or the amanah Allah has gave you.
"When I love My servant... I become the hearing with which he hears, the seeing with which he sees, the hand with which he strikes, and the foot with which he walks. If he asks of Me, I will surely grant it to him, and if he seeks refuge in Me, I will surely protect him."
- Sahih Bukhari 6502
How great must it feel to make dua and seeing it answered right in front of your eyes? To be wronged, and see Allah deal with them in a just way. To be given blessings daily?
You made it! May Allah raise your ranks to that of an Awliyah. A beloved friend of His. If this knowledge has benefited you in any way, please make dua for me and my health.

Subhan Allah, by the Qadr of Allah a lot of our beloved telegram accounts have gotten deleted including our own, the kufār are trying their best to remove us from spreading the dawāh of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, but Allah سبحانه وتعالى will aid the believers who spread the call to Islam.
Many of us are upset and immensely saddened at this, but it has happened by the Qadr of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, therefor there is hukum within in it, والله يعلم ونحن لا نعلم
Amongst social media there comes muwahideen that invite to Islam with sincerity, then alongside that comes the fitna of followers/likes/comments and praise, that starts to corrupt and darken the heart and remove the light of sincerity and righteousness that was once within…
The muwahid who once called to Islam for the sake of gaining the pleasure and reward of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, is now preaching for the sake of gaining followers and hearing the praise of the people, who will not benefit him in the slightest, he starts to speak about matters in which he has no say in, he answers questions in which he has no knowledge of, he lacks Adab, he increases in arrogance and subhan Allah starts to look down upon his Muslim brothers and sisters!
If you are from amongst these people, I advise you to go have a read of the lives of the 4 imams! رحمهم الله
Another thing is Subhan Allah, what starts to happen? When listening to a khutba you’re not paying attention to what the sheikh is saying for the sake of benefiting your Akhira, or boosting your imān, but listening out for “what can I clip from this khutba and post on my social media that will get me immense likes and shares?” When reading a book, you’re not taking in the mountains of knowledge that Allah سبحانه وتعالى has placed before you, but instead looking out for, “what can I quote and post that will earn me praise? What will boost my likes?”
This is Riyā, which is a form of minor shirk... for your actions should be for Allah سبحانه وتعالى who has provided and taken care of you despite your disobedience and ungratefulness towards his majesty…
Subhan Allah, so the hukūm I see from this is Allah سبحانه وتعالى is protecting us from losing our sincerity, والله اعلم.
So my brothers and sisters I advise you, if you are on platforms like instagram which I know likes can be turned off then do so, if your actions are purely for Allah سبحانه وتعالى, then post your reminders for Allah سبحانه وتعالى says, “وذكر فإن الذرى تنفع المؤمنين، and remind, for indeed the reminder benefits the believers.“, and do not look at those who have liked/commented/shared your posts, nor accept their praise, but follow the pious actions of Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه who would say when praised, “Oh Allah make me better than what they think of me, and forgive me for what they do not know about me, and do not take me to account for what they say about me.“
So my brothers and sisters, if you’re spreading dawāh on social media, and this reminder I say to myself before anyone, you need to purely ask yourself, are my intentions in the right area? Am I posting this Fi Sabil Illah? Or for likes/followers/praise? And is this platform causing Kībr to grow within me? Am I lacking Adab and hayā? Am I looking down on my brothers and sisters fillah and shaming them instead of guiding or advising them? This is an illness, a pandemic
and if you find yourself catching the symptoms of ilness ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى to purify you, and protect yourself from it for the outcome is lethal…
I ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى to grant us Hidaya, to keep us steadfast, and to protect us from going astray.
ربنا لا تزغ قلوبنا بعد إذ هديتنا وهب لنا من لدنك رحمة، إنك انت الوهاب.

You see someone who never prays, fasting for the sake of Allāh. Why would they fast unless they are feeling something towards the religion? Don't belittle them by saying they never prayed or don't fulfill other religious obligations. You never know how Allāh has guided them, and perhaps they will be guided to become a better Muslim, step by step.
You see someone praying suddenly during Ramadan. Don't call them a "Ramadan Muslim." Perhaps this is the time they are finally guided. Don't let your taunts push them away from practicing their religion.
You see a woman who used to show her hair freely, now wearing a hijab. Don't act surprised or gossip about her past. Perhaps this is the moment she chooses to accept and practice modesty. Be happy for her.
You see someone sharing Islamic reminders after previously sharing non-Islamic content. Refrain from criticizing their past posts. Focus on the positive actions they are taking now.
Perhaps this Ramadan will be the one that truly changes their heart.
Perhaps this is the moment that brings them lasting peace.
Perhaps this is their last Ramadan ever.
Let them have this moment. Encourage them. Pray for them.
يٰۤـاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوا اجْتَنِبُوْا كَثِيْرًا مِّنَ الظَّنِّ ۖ اِنَّ بَعْضَ الظَّنِّ اِثْمٌ وَّلَا تَجَسَّسُوْا وَلَا يَغْتَبْ بَّعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا ۗ اَ يُحِبُّ اَحَدُكُمْ اَنْ يَّأْكُلَ لَحْمَ اَخِيْهِ مَيْتًا فَكَرِهْتُمُوْهُ ۗ وَا تَّقُوا اللّٰهَ ۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ تَوَّا بٌ رَّحِيْمٌ
"O you who have believed, avoid much [negative] assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin. And do not spy or backbite each other. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his brother when dead? You would detest it. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is Accepting of repentance and Merciful."
(Al-Hujuraat 49: Verse 12)
