Description

In Backbiting: The Way to Hellfire, Waheed Abdussalaam Baly delivers a sobering and essential examination of one of the most destructive sins in Islam — backbiting (gheebah). Drawing from Qur’anic verses, Hadith and the wisdom of early scholars, the author sheds light on the spiritual and social consequences of speaking ill of others behind their backs.

With clarity and sincerity, this book outlines how backbiting is not only a moral failing but a path that leads to Hellfire if left unchecked. It encourages readers to reflect on their speech, purify their hearts and cultivate habits that foster a healthier, more God-conscious community. A practical and powerful reminder for every Muslim striving to uphold good character.

Due to the fact that so many people fall into this sin, it’s imperative that every Muslim studies this topic and understands the boundaries of speech.
