The Terrible Habit of Backbiting

December 09, 2025 | Syed Mohsin Attiq

Human beings have been bestowed by unique qualities by Almighty Allah. The dynamic qualities of human beings draws the very red lines between good & bad. The psychological undercurrents of human beings also incorporates those undesirable things, which continuously undermine their credibility & stature. One of those undesirable habits is the terrible habit of backbiting. Everyone of us have the inherent tendency to corner & criticise others. We make every effort in order to dislodge & downgrade others. No one is ready to go for self-introspection & course correction .Our Holy Quran & teachings of Prophet Mohammad(Pbuh) have always advocated peaceful coexistence & reconciliation. Todays material race has greatly eroded the sanctity & credibility of human values. Backbiting is the first weapon to shoot others without any substance.

Firstly backbiting is the favourite hobby of chronic pessimistic & cruel fellows. Is not it a fact that our whole social interface has become breeding ground for backbiting. From religious gatherings to marriage functions, we do not spare any opportunity in order to backbite others. The contemporary graph of backbiting & criticism very well depicts a horrible picture cum monster. When we are not able to digest others wellbeing ,backbiting is our first weapon. We never bother to go for self introspection and course correction. How much is our contribution towards peace & reconciliation is a million dollar question .Backbiting is that pioson, which is going to shake our ethical & moral foundations. It is not going to develop our persona. Human psychology has a terrible habit to point fingers on others. I will talk of myself first. Whenever I came in contact with anyone ,I immediately try to find faults in his personality.I never try to count remarkable things of masses in right perspective .My pessimism has sucked blood out of my wisdom & understanding .I treat myself as super human without any fault and error. Same is the case with others. Our lust & greed are the biggest hurdles in acceptance of others. We are not able to accept the will of Almighty Allah. Almighty Allah had gifted every human being with unique attributes. We have to wholeheartedly acknowledge & appreciate those attributes. We can not turn blind eye towards destinies of others.
Secondly, coming to my personal experiments with truth of backbiting. Since my childhood & school days, i have seen lot of pessimistic fellows, who were merchants of backbiting. They were not leaving any stone unturned in order to criticise others. Their every efforts was directed to downgrade others. But history taught them very bitter lessons. Today these fellows suffer from inferiority complex due to their own faults & follies. Today their personal lives have become talk of the town .Honesty & integrity are the only parameters to judge others. We can not judge others by subjecting them to undue & unjust criticism. There is a great need of intellectual approach, while judging others. Our social fabric needs paradigm shift in it's approach & mentality. Whenever we have to judge anybody ,let us make honesty & integrity our sole benchmarks. Let us not become pessimistic & cruel by subjecting others to unjustified criticism.
Last but not the least ,let us cherish noble teachings of Prophet Mohammad(Pbuh) while analysing others. The revolutionary teachings of our Holy Prophet should be kept in mind before pointing fingers on others. Better late than never.
