Rasulullah (S<strong>al</strong>l<strong>al</strong>lahu Alayhi Was<strong>al</strong>lam) said: “M<strong>al</strong>ice and je<strong>al</strong>ousy devour good deeds<br />

as fire devours fuel.” (Jami)<br />

If these people who are so ready to defame and accuse others would only reflect on the<br />

sayings of Rasulullah (S<strong>al</strong>l<strong>al</strong>lahu Alayhi Was<strong>al</strong>lam) in this regard, they will surely come<br />

to know that they only do great harm to themselves. Whatever they do to others will<br />

certainly be done to them. For Rasulullah (S<strong>al</strong>l<strong>al</strong>lahu Alayhi Was<strong>al</strong>lam) said:<br />

As you do to others so sh<strong>al</strong>l be done to you.”(Maqousid-e-Hasanah)<br />

Rasulullah (S<strong>al</strong>l<strong>al</strong>lahu Alayhi Was<strong>al</strong>lam) <strong>al</strong>so said: “Goodness never becomes old; sin is<br />

never forgotten, and Allah, the Compensator never dies. Do whatever you wish, for as<br />

you do to others, so sh<strong>al</strong>l be done to you.”<br />

In another Hadeeth it is quoted from the Torah: “As you sow, so sh<strong>al</strong>l you reap. From the<br />

cup that you give others to drink, will you be made to drink.” (Maqousid-e-Hasanah)<br />

Another Hadeeth quotes from the Injeel: “As you do, so will be done to you. And with<br />

the sc<strong>al</strong>e that you weigh to give others, will you be weighed.” (Jami — Sagheer)<br />

Rasulullah (S<strong>al</strong>l<strong>al</strong>lahu Alayhi Was<strong>al</strong>lam) said: That man who refuses help to a Muslim, at<br />

such time when he is being humiliated and insulted, Allah will leave him helpless and<br />

unaided at such time when he is greatly in need of a helper. And for him who comes to<br />

the support of a Muslim at such a time when he is being humiliated and insulted, Allah<br />

will come to his aid at such a time when he is greatly in need of a helper.” (Mishkat)<br />

Sayyidina Abu Zar Ghaffari (Radi<strong>al</strong>lahu anhu) is one of the most well-known Sahabah<br />

(Radi<strong>al</strong>lahu anhu). There is a lengthy Hadeeth reported by him at the end of which is the<br />

following. He requested Rasulullah (S<strong>al</strong>l<strong>al</strong>lahu Alayhi Was<strong>al</strong>lam) to give him advice.<br />

Rasulullah (S<strong>al</strong>l<strong>al</strong>lahu Alayhi Was<strong>al</strong>lam) said to him in reply: “I advice you to have the<br />

fear of Allah at <strong>al</strong>l times. It is an adornment for <strong>al</strong>l things. (Surely if a man fears Allah in<br />

<strong>al</strong>l affairs he will not become involved in sinful acts of c<strong>al</strong>amities).”<br />

Hazrat Abu Zar (Radi<strong>al</strong>lahu anhu) asked: “Advise me more.”<br />

Rasulullah (S<strong>al</strong>l<strong>al</strong>lahu Alayhi Was<strong>al</strong>lam) replied: “Recite the Holy Quran and remember<br />

Allah (in Zikr) excessively. This will cause you to be remembered in the heavens and will<br />

be âcause for light for you on earth.”<br />

Hazrat Abu Zar (Radi<strong>al</strong>lahu anhu) again asked: “Advise me more.”<br />

Rasulullah (S<strong>al</strong>l<strong>al</strong>lahu Alayhi Was<strong>al</strong>lam) said: “Observe silence often for this wards off<br />

the Shaytaan (as man is often involved in problems through his tongue). Silence assists in<br />

the observance of deeni affairs (and whomsoever suffers from the disease of excessive<br />

t<strong>al</strong>k deprives himself of good works).”<br />
