Badgumani | Bad Assumption
Prohibition of excessive assumptions
Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has stated in the Holy Quran:
یٰۤاَیُّہَا الَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوا اجۡتَنِبُوۡا کَثِیۡرًا مِّنَ الظَّنِّ ۫ اِنَّ بَعۡضَ الظَّنِّ اِثۡمٌ
‘O believer! Avoid excessive assumptions; indeed some assumptions become sin’.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 26, Al-Hujurat, Ayah 12)
Sayyiduna ‘Allamah ‘Abdullah Abu Umar Bin Muhammad Sheerazi Baydawi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه (who passed away in 791 AH) has stated in Tafseer Baydawi: ‘This is because a Muslim should be careful about all of his assumptions and ponder about the kind of the assumption he has experienced.’
(Tafseer Baydawi, part 26, vol. 5, pp. 218)
Explaining this blessed Ayah of the Holy Quran, Sayyiduna Imam Fakhruddin Raazi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه (who passed away in 606 AH) stated in the book Tafseer Kabeer: ‘Sometimes, the deed done by a person appears to be an evil apparently but it may not be the case in reality. He may be doing it forgetfully or the observer may himself be mistaken.’ (Tafseer Kabeer, part 26, vol. 10, pp. 110)
Any thought that comes into the mind of a person on the basis of an apparent sign is called assumption. It is also called ‘ظَن’
