4. Make Du’a for the person you have had a bad suspicion about

Whenever a bad suspicion about an Islamic brother occurs to you, make Du’a for his well-being and treat him with greater respect. Hujjat-ul-Islam, Sayyiduna Imam Abu Haamid Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Muhammad Ghazali عَـلَـیۡـهِ رَحْـمَـةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـوَالِی has stated, ‘When you have a bad suspicion about a Muslim in your heart, you should be considerate towards him (i.e. treat him with greater respect) and make Du’a for his well-being. In this way you will anger Satan and be able to drive him away. Because of this, Satan will be reluctant to put evil thoughts into your heart for fear that you would become considerate towards your brother and make Du’a for his well-being again. (Ihya-ul-‘Uloom, vol. 3, pp. 187)

مجھے غیبت و چُغلی و بد گمانی                کی آفات سے تُو بچا یا الٰہی

5. Have good company

Refrain from the company of bad people and have the company of righteous ones. Besides reaping many other blessings, you will be able to avoid bad suspicions.

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! By the blessings of being part of Dawat-e-Islami, a global & non-political movement for preaching the Holy Quran and sacred Sunnah, the best moral qualities will subconsciously become part of your personality. Every Islamic brother should attend his local Sunnah-inspiring weekly congregation of Dawat-e-Islami and travel in Madani Qafilahs with lovers of the beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. By the blessing of travelling in these Madani Qafilahs اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ you will get an opportunity to reflect upon your past life and your heart will start pondering about building a good afterlife which will result in feeling regret over your sins, and repenting sincerely.

As a result of travelling regularly in Madani Qafilahs, your tongue will replace filthy and useless talk with Salat-‘Alan-Nabi, Quranic recitation, praise for Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and Na’at. You will replace your anger with softness, your impatience with patience, you will lose your arrogance and gain a desire to respect Muslims, and you will save yourself from the greed of worldly fortune
