Islamic Quotes About Backbiting And Gossiping. In the Arabic language, backbiting is referred to as al-Gheebah or al-Gheebatu. It is defined as speaking ill about your Muslim brother or sister in their absence.
Talking behind people’s back is considered a major sin in Islam and it drives us away from Allah’s mercy. As Muslims, it is our duty to talk about our fellow Muslims with respect and integrity even when they are not present. It is not permissible in Islam to spread rumors, engage in backbiting or to gossip about other people, and it is closely related to lying (see our Islamic quotes about lying). Allah says in the Quran: “And do not spy or backbite each other. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his brother when dead? You would detest it” (49:12). The Prophet (SAW) defined backbiting as “mentioning your brother in a way he dislikes” (Muslim).

Islam teaches us to treat our fellow Muslim brothers with honor and sincerity, as shown in the manners of Prophet Muhammad. The concept of brotherhood and sisterhood is highly promoted in Islam as it ignites the goodness in people. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: “Don’t envy one another, and don’t increase prices for each other, and don’t hate one another, and don’t turn away from one another, and don’t undermine each other in trade, but rather be servants of Allah and brothers among yourselves. A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim: he doesn’t wrong him, nor does he fail him, nor does he lie to him, nor does he disdain him. Piety is here (and he pointed to his heart three times). It is evil enough for a person to disdain his Muslim brother. The whole of a Muslim is inviolable for another Muslim: his blood, his money and his honour.” (Muslim).

↓2 – Ways Of Seeking Forgiveness For Backbiting In Islam
It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: “Whoever has wronged his brother with regard to his honour or anything else, let him seek his forgiveness today, before there will be no dinar and no dirham, and if he has any good deeds to his credit they will be taken from him in a manner commensurate with the wrong he did, and if he has no good deeds, then some of his counterpart’s bad deeds will be taken and added to his burden.” [al-Bukhaari].
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said:
Whoever wrongs a person by slandering him, backbiting about him or insulting him, then repents, Allah will accept his repentance, but if the one who was wronged finds out about that, he has the right to settle the score. But if he slandered him or backbit about him and the person did not hear of that, then there are two views according to the scholars, both of which were narrated from Ahmad, the more correct of which is that he should not tell him that he spoke against him in his absence. It was said that he should rather speak well of him in his absence just as he spoke badly of him in his absence, as al-Hasan al-Basri said: the expiation for gheebah is to pray for forgiveness for the person about whom you backbit. (Majmoo’ al-Fataawa.)
↓1 – Consequences of Backbiting
The Prophet (SAW) described the truly bankrupt person of his Ummah as one who comes on the Day of Resurrection with prayer, fasting and zakat, but has insulted, slandered and wronged others, so his good deeds are given to them, and if they run out, their sins are placed on him (Muslim).
Some narrations say that backbiting is worse than zina because it is not forgiven until the victim forgives it; however, this report (Bayhaqi, Shu’ab al-Iman) is graded weak by hadith scholars, so rely instead on the authentic hadith above and on Quran 49:12. What scholars agree on is that repentance for backbiting involves stopping, regretting, and, where possible and where it will not cause more harm, asking the person for forgiveness or praying for them and speaking well of them.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is backbiting (gheebah) in Islam?
The Prophet (SAW) defined it as mentioning your brother in a way he would dislike. If what is said is true, it is backbiting; if it is false, it is slander (buhtan), which is worse (Muslim).
Is it ever permissible to speak about someone in their absence?
Scholars such as Imam al-Nawawi list limited exceptions where there is a valid need: complaining about an injustice to someone able to remove it, seeking a fatwa, warning others of real harm, or identifying a person by a well-known description. Because the boundaries are delicate, ask a qualified scholar about your situation.
What should I do if I have already backbitten someone?
Stop, feel regret, resolve not to repeat it, and seek Allah’s forgiveness (see benefits of istighfar). Scholars differ on whether you must tell the person: many say not to tell them if this would cause more harm, and instead to pray for them and speak well of them; others say to seek their forgiveness if it is safe to do so.
What should I do when others backbite in front of me?
Advise them to stop if you can, change the subject or leave the gathering if you cannot. Defending the honor of a Muslim in his absence is rewarded, as the Prophet (SAW) said that whoever defends the honor of his brother, Allah will protect his face from the Fire (Tirmidhi).
Does backbiting break wudu or invalidate fasting?
Backbiting is a major sin that reduces the reward of worship, but the majority of scholars say that it does not break wudu and does not invalidate the fast, although it harms its reward.
