One way to stop backbiting is to imagine the person present in front of you. But the scholars mentioned an even better and more rewardable way to protect your tongue.

To avoid backbiting:

1. Imagine that person sitting there with you. Would u say still say it to hurt them?

2. Call them with beautiful names and then say what they would like to hear if they were present during the conversation.

3. Imagining our own self in the position of that person and say what you would say if they were talking about you.

I back bite on people who have done me wrong😭 i know it is not good im giving them my hasanaath PLEASE make dua dat I will stop backbinh

[Lina-cfoy]

I came here with an honest intention to stop backbiting even though it's so hard because I live in an environment where the only shared activity that we do is talking and telling each other stories and mostly we end up mentioning some people without feeling it...I truly want to top this but I keep going back to it.. Pray for me to find the correct way and to avoid all the things that upset Allah SWT .. May Allah guide us all

1. Speak at slow pace so that you aware of ur words
2. Avoid too much talk coz that involves in speaking false
3. When talking about third person, imagine the person talked about sitting in front of you, and say about that person the words they would love to listen about them
4. Being straight forward is from shaitan, keep modesty in your talks.
5. Call third person with their good names that they would to hear before talking anything about them
6. Imagine self to be that third person, and speak those words that you would like to hear about self- This is the people of Ihsan

Such a good reminder BarekAllahu feekum. Adding timestamps:

0:18 "when they come across idle speech, they pass through with dignity"
2:16 Think before you speak
4:16 Process of tawbah becomes more complicated
5:04 Imagine the person sitting in front of you
7:28 Say what you know they'd like to hear about themselves
9:19 Imagine you are the person spoken of and say what you know you'd like to hear of yourself
11:10 Hayaa is lost
12:21 Disconnect the person's honour from whatever subject you're speaking about

May Allah help us and guide us all. May he make us the best Muslims we can be and allow us to be the people placed in Jannat-Al-Firdaus. May He allow us to stop backbiting and indulging in idle talk, a grave sin which is often overlooked. Ameen.

This message means a lot to me 😢 may Allah forgive us all our sins

[Yusufilam]

what i have come to realise is that the reason it is easier not to sin in ramadan is because we are avoiding idle talk. Keeping ourselves busy in our worship and not allowing our tongues to run free. Let this month allow us to make an oath to use our tongues for only saying good words and to refrain from using it for the things that displease Allah and attains his wrath and anger. Allah saves us from the fire of jahannam and purify us.

[rbg]

Alhamdulillah for this wonderful religion. It always amazes me how there's a systematic way to act in certain situations; a guideline to everyday problems. Others may simply see it as backbiting but for us Muslims we see it as something that needs to be prevented as it leads to a much bigger problem.

[layonuazeez]

May Allah make it easy for us and help us to pause and think before we speak. What a well delivered reminder. I feel like this was exactly what I needed to hear, since it is so easy to let your tongue slip nowadays. May Allah set right the affairs of Palestine and of all the Ummah 🤲
