Advantages of having good opinions

Good opinions have many advantages:

1.         By virtue of a good opinion a person remains safe from suspicion and earns great reward.

2.         By virtue of having a good opinion, a Muslim’s honour remains intact.

3.         The person who has a good opinion about his Muslim brother is blessed with peace of the heart and the one who falls into the nasty habit of having suspicions; fear continues to remain in his heart.

4.         Best of all, if a person has a good opinion, he will attain the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

Disadvantages of evil suspicions

Evil suspicions have many disadvantages, some of which are as follows:

1.         If you express your evil suspicion to someone, then there is a strong possibility of hurting his heart which is Haraam if done to a Muslim without Shar’i permission.

2.         If it is expressed to someone else in his absence, then it will be called backbiting and backbiting against a Muslim is Haraam.

3.         Evil suspicions lead to curiosity as the heart does not remain patient only on opinions, but rather asks for investigation, due to which a person starts burning with curiosity and curiosity means to persevere in efforts to discover the sins of your Muslim brothers, this is also prohibited.

4.         Evil suspicions cause diseases of the inner-self, such as malice, jealousy, hatred and bitterness. (Fath-ul-Baari)

5.         People avoid the person who has evil suspicions on trivial matters and such a person gets disgraced in front of people.
