*Due to being angry, the ill-habit like forgetting other’s favours gets developed inside a person.

Some people have anger hidden in their hearts which doesn’t go away for years. Due to this, they do not attend each other’s weddings or other occasions. Even if some people are apparently pious, but they still hide anger in their hearts. It gets expressed in such a way that if they would do favours on somebody before, now they would stop doing so. Now, they would not treat nicely nor would they sympathise. If the other person has arranged for a gathering of Na’t etc., then they would deprive themselves from it just because of their Nafs and anger معاذاللّٰہ. There are some such relatives as well that no matter how nicely a person treats them, they remain stubborn over their stance.

However, we should not lose hope. It is stated in the famous book of Hadees, ‘Jami’ Sagheer’: The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: صِلْ مَنْ قَطَعَکَ i.e. join (relationship) with the one who severs relationship with you.  (Jami’ Sagheer, pp. 309, Hadees 5004)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                                                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ  عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Tale-telling

Dear Islamic sisters! Tale-telling is also such an accursed evil that brings about a lot of destruction and creates conflicts among one another.

What is tale-telling?

Imam Nawavi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه narrates: ‘Conveying one’s matter to other people with the intention of causing harm is called tale-telling.’ (‘Umda-tul-Qaari, vol. 2, pp. 594; Taht-al-Hadees 216)

Conveying one’s matter to the other with the intention of creating discord between them is called tale-telling. (Al-Zawajir ‘An Iqtiraf-il-Kabaair, vol. 2, pp. 46)

Examples of tale-telling

   *A student complaining to her teacher about her class fellow for her to face punishment.
