About this video
Three verses of Surah al-Hujurat name six habits that poison a community, three done to someone's face and three behind their back, and then give the one measure Allah uses: taqwa. We start from the hadith ‘Allah looks at your hearts and your deeds’ (Muslim 2564), read 49:11–13 in translation, hear the Prophet's ﷺ warning ‘beware of suspicion’ (Bukhari 6066), and answer a common excuse for backbiting: ‘but it's true’ (Muslim 2589). Framing is drawn, with attribution, from Maulana Maududi's Tafhim al-Qur'an (older English rendering) and Dr Israr Ahmed's Bayan-ul-Qur'an.
