Quran,Translation and Commentary in Brief (Vol. 04)
Verses 21-25Verses 17-20

      The above verses are complementary to the story of the calumny; which is so heinous and hateful a sin that Allah has explained it from various stand points, so that Muslims may not fall into such traps any more:ِ

 

      ``Allah warns you never to repeat the like of it, if you are believers.''

      It is a sign of belief to avoid committing such shameful sins.

      Then the incident is turned from a private affair into a general matter, that may affect the society in its worst of forms:ِ

      ``Those who love to spread obscene acts among the believers, for them is a painful punishment.''

      This verse does not say; ``Those who do spread obscene acts''. It rather threatens those who love to do so. Obscene act is not only a deed which is offensive to chastity or to modesty. Any kind of mischievous and morally corrupt act is obscene. Therefore the backbiting and speaking ill of an absent person, has been condemned in Islam. This is because it reveals the hidden faults and guilts, and may serve to reduce the degree of its ugliness and unlawfulness.

      Sin is the like of fire. When the fire is kindled in a room, it must either be extinguished or controlled. If we blow it up, or increase its fuel; soon the whole room will catch fire.

      The most effectual mischief which is planned by Evil; is to seduce the simple minded and common people who have no harm for the community. They are easily deluded by gossip, and by the spread of obscene acts step by step, until they eventually become the instrument of Satan. Such social dangers are not known by all, even by the learned people; but Allah knows it well.

      Casual talk about the affairs of other people, typically including rumour and critical comments, is one of the most dangerous weapons that the enemy may use against the good fame and reputation of people, and to terror their personality.

      This was why the nonbelievers and the hypocrites, in their foul play; spread in their most cowardly manner, the gossips and rumours to impair the reputation of the prophet, whom Allah has raised above all!
