Secret Faults one of the blessings and gifts of God. Without it, human life is not beautiful. The mind is not happy without being in its shadow. Covering faults is beauty and beauty, radiance and greatness. Through this, the nation maintains its structure, solidarity and foundation. To conceal faults means to cover faults in words and deeds, externally and internally, to conceal failure and triviality, and to conceal evil. Our Lord is endowed with this great quality, for He is the best Protector of privacy. In the narrated from Abu Dawood, Haz rat Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "Surely Allah is ashamed, the one who hides secret faults."
Rules of Haz-rat Muhammad (SAW):
Haz-rat Muhammad (peace be upon him) would not have made it clear if he had heard of something he disliked. He kept it a secret, never leaked it. He said, 'What is the condition of those who say such things?' Narrated 'Abdullah ibn Mas' d (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: I have had intercourse with a woman and everything has happened except my intercourse with her.
I am present, judging me as you wish. Then Haz rat Omar (RA) said to him, Allah has kept your matter secret, if you keep your Secret Fault! The Prophet Karim (peace be upon him) did not interfere in this. Then the man got up and left. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sent another man to call him and recited this verse, ‘Perform the prayer at the two ends of the day and at the beginning of the night. Surely good deeds remove evil deeds. This is admonition for those who are zikr. '- Surah Hud: One hundred and fourteen.
Then a man from the tribe stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, is this specially reserved for him?" He said, "Rather, it is for all people." - Sahih Muslim The Companions have understood the Prophet's (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) guidance on dealing with sinners and wrongdoers in concealing the secret faults and committing the secret sins. Ibn Abi Shay-bah narrates in his book that the first caliph of Islam, Haz-rat Abu Bakr Siddiq (ra) said, ‘If I caught a drunkard, I wanted Allah to keep him a secret. And if I caught a thief, I wish Allah would keep him hidden. '
Previous and Subsequent Rewards:
The biggest scene of keeping Secret Fault is the day when Allah will gather all the people before and after, where Allah's mercy will be manifested. Haz-rat Haz rat Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, ‘Allah will take the believing servant near and cast his shadow over him, hide him, then say, do you know about such a sin? Do you know about such sins? He will say, O my Lord, yes. Thus when he confesses his sin and thinks that he is doomed. Then Allah will say, I hid your sin in the world, today I have forgiven it for you, then the record of his good deeds will be given. '- Sahih Bukhari
For a person who repents in the court of his Lord, keeping his secret faults, hoping to hide it from Allah and wishing to forgive him, a greater example of Allah's mercy is that He will change his evil deeds into virtue by His grace and mercy. It is a sign of humanity, loyalty, generosity and brotherhood to keep the secret faults of others in a beautiful way. An example of covering up a secret fault that is indicative of good behavior is to hide a secret fault between husband and wife. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “They are a garment for you, and you are a garment for them.”
It is also a sin to preach sin is not forgiven:
In the sweetness of life, in the bitterness, in the hardness of time and in the happiness of happiness, the veil is a covering and adornment for each other, a symbol of love, affection and perfection. They will share joys and sorrows, share sorrows and pains. So after love, kindness and strong commitment, it is not appropriate to reveal each other's secret faults. The benefits of keeping Secret Fault are huge. Spreading love and friendship, reforming Muslims, helping sinners to correct themselves and repent to their Lord. Because of the importance of keeping secret faults, Allah dislikes the propagation of evil deeds and the spread of destructive things. Those who do so are warned of punishment in this world and in the Hereafter.
If there is such a stern warning to desire and rejoice in the spread of pornography, what will happen to those who preach it directly? Al-Abdul M-u-f-rad of Imam Bukhari (may Allah be pleased with him) said, ‘Whoever hears of obscenity and propagates the secret faults of that word, he becomes involved in it like the person who did it directly. Worse still, he deprived himself of God's forgiveness.
Haz-rat Haz rat Muhammad (SAW) said, ‘My whole Ummah will be forgiven, except the preachers of sin. And the example of the propagation of sin is that if a person commits a sin at night and says in the morning, O so-and-so, I did such a thing last night, while Allah kept it secret. His Lord hid it at night, and in the morning He unveiled the veil of Allah. The greatest way to keep the servant secret from Allah is that the servant will do his utmost to keep himself pure and sincere.
The consequences of the Hereafter concerning the Secret Fault:
Whoever is devoted to Allah in words and deeds, Allah covers his Secret Fault in this world and in the Hereafter. And whoever seeks fame, glory, reputation, praise by his own deeds, may Allah be angry with him and inform the people about the evil of his mind. Haz-rat Muhammad (SAW) said, ‘Whoever wants to listen to others, Allah will listen to his Secret Fault. Whoever wants to show, Allah will show people his Secret Fault. '- Sahih Bukhari
Another great way to keep the secret fault of the servant by Allah is that the servant will be endowed with the virtue of keeping the secret fault of others. Such actions will be rewarded. So that he will try to hide the faults of his brothers, Allah will keep his faults hidden in the most difficult situation, when his need for blaming Allah and His forgiveness will be too much. Haz-rat Muhammad (SAW) said, ‘Whoever commits a Secret Fault of a Muslim, Allah will make him a Secret Fault in this world and in the Hereafter.’ - Sahih Bukhari
Is it legal to tell one's personal secret fault to others?
There are a lot of people in the society who usually talk about their faults to others. In addition to telling these personal secret faults or life events to others, many also spread the word through social media. Even if these faults are true, is it lawful to tell or reveal them to others? About this
What is the direction of Islam? For whatever reason, it is disgusting and disgusting to reveal any secret fault of a person or to bring someone's personal life to the fore and humiliate someone. From the point of view of Islamic law, it is an evil and sinful act. It is forbidden to search the secrets of others in the Qur'an.
Allah says: يا أيها الذين آمنوا اجتنبوا كثيرا من الظن إن بعض الظن إثم ولا تجسسوا ولا يغتب بعضكم بعضا أيحب أحدكم أن يأكل لحم أخيه ميتا فكرهتموه واتقوا الله إن الله تواب رحيم 'O ye who believe! You stay away from many ideas. Certainly some ideas are sinful. And don't look for secrets. Let none of you slander anyone. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of your dead brother? In fact, you hate it. Fear God. Surely Allah is Oft-returning (to mercy), the Merciful. Surah Hu-j-u-rat: Verse twelve.
Directions according to Hadith:
There are clear guidelines in several hadiths about whether it can be called Secret Fault of others. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ‘What your brother dislikes is to discuss behind him.’ He said, ‘If what I say is in my brother, then what is your verdict? (Will that also be backbiting?) ’The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,‘ If what you say (criticizes) is in him, then backbiting him. And if what you say (criticizes) is not in him, then slander him. '(Muslim)
Two. Haz-rat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ‘When I was taken to Mer-a-j, I passed by some people who had copper nails and were scratching their faces with it. I asked, who are they? O Gabriel! He said, "They are the people who ate human flesh, exposed the secret faults of others and robbed them of their respect." (Abu Dawood)
Three. Haz-rat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: Do not be busy and do not divulge secret information. Because behind you are the most painful and lasting calamities. '(Ada-b-ul M-u-f-rad)
Four. Haz-rat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "When you want to practice the Secret Fault of your partner, then remember your own Secret Fault." (Ada-b-ul Mu-f-rad) Haz-rat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Whoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults in this world and in the Hereafter." (Ibn Maj-ah)
Haz-rat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, And whoever reveals the secret faults of his Muslim brother, Allah will reveal his secret faults and even humiliate him in his house for this reason. '(Ibn Maj-ah)
So it is illegal and sinful to reveal one's secret fault or to tell it to others. So one should not talk about one's sins in public. There is more in the hadith - Haz-rat Ikr-ima Rahm at said, I do not remember, either Haz-rat Ibn Abbas or his cousin invited each other to dinner. A maid was working in front of them (serving food).
One of them said to him, O adulteress! Then the other said, stop. If he cannot punish you (this slander) in this world, he will surely punish you in the Hereafter. Others say, "Indeed, Allah does not like obscene talk and the bearer of obscenities." This was Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him); Whoever says, "Surely Allah does not like obscene words and the bearer of obscenities." (Ada b-ul Mu-f-rad)
May Allah grant taw-fi-q to the Muslim Ummah to refrain from calling others secret secret faults or revealing secret faults. Give taw-fi-q to follow the Qur'an-Sunnah properly. Amen.
