When You Hear Something Malicious about Someone, Keep a favorable view about him/her Until You Attain Full Knowledge About The Matter. Consider others innocent until they are Proven Guilty with Solid and Truthful Evidence. Why did not the believers men and women when you heard of the affair put the best construction on it in their own minds and say, "This (charge) is an obvious lie. ل و لا إ ذ سم ع ت م وه ظ ن ال م و م ن ون و ال م و م ن ات ب ا نف س ه م خ ي ر ا و ق ال وا ه ذ ا إ ف ك مب ين ( 24:12) 24:12 (Asad) Why do not the believing men and women, whenever such [a rumor] is heard, think the best of one another and say, This is an obvious falsehood? ل و لا ج اؤ وا ع ل ي ه ب ا ر ب ع ة ش ه د اء ف ا ذ لم ي ا ت وا ب ال شه د اء ف ا و ل ي ك ع ند الل ه ه م ال ك اذ ب ون 24:13 (Asad) why do they not [demand of the accusers that they] their allegation? for, if they do not produce such witnesses, it is those [accusers] who, in the sight of God, are liars indeed! - ( 24:13) 22.

9 49:6 (Asad) O YOU who have attained to faith! If any iniquitous person comes to you with a [slanderous] tale, use your discernment, lest you hurt people unwittingly and afterwards be filled with remorse for what you have done Do not follow blindly any information of which you have no direct knowledge. (Using your faculties of perception and conception) you must verify it for yourself. In the Court of your Lord, you will be held accountable for your hearing, sight, and the faculty of reasoning And pursue not that of which you have no knowledge; for every act of hearing, or of seeing or of (feeling in) the heart will be enquired into (on the Day of Reckoning). و لا ت ق ف م ا ل ي س ل ك ب ه ع ل م إ ن ال سم ع و ال ب ص ر و ال ف و اد ك ل أ ولي ك ك ان ع ن ه (17:36) م س و ولا 17:36 (Asad) And never concern thyself with anything of which thou hast no knowledge: verily, [thy] hearing and sight and heart - all of them - will be called to account for it [on Judgment Day]! Never think that you have reached the final stage of knowledge and nobody knows more than yourself. Remember! Above everyone endowed with knowledge is another endowed with more knowledge. We raise to degrees (of wisdom) whom We please: but overall endued with knowledge is one, the All Knowing. ف ب د أ ب ا و ع ي ت ه م ق ب ل و ع اء أ خ يه ثم اس ت خ ر ج ه ا م ن و ع اء أ خ يه ك ذ ل ك ك د ن ا ل ي وس ف م ا ك ان ل ي ا خ ذ أ خ اه في د ين ال م ل ك إ لا أ ن ي ش اء الل ه ن ر ف ع د ر ج ات من (12:76) ن ش اء و ف و ق ك ل ذ ي ع ل م ع ل يم 12:76 (Asad) Thereupon [they were brought before Joseph to be searched; and] he began with the bags of his half-brothers before the bag of his brother [Benjamin]: and in the end he brought forth the drinking Cups out of his brother's bag. In this way did We contrive for Joseph [the attainment of his heart's desire]: under the King's law, he would [otherwise] not have been able to detain his brother, had not God so willed. We do raise to [high] degrees [of knowledge] whomever We will - but above everyone who is endowed with knowledge there is One who knows all. - And say, "O My Lord! advance me In knowledge." ف ت ع الى الل ه ال م ل ك الح ق و لا ت ع ج ل ب ال ق ر آن م ن ق ب ل أ ن ي ق ض ى إ ل ي ك و ح ي ه و ق ل ر ب ز د ني ع ل م ا (20:114) Presented by Ziaraat.Com Page 9 of 21

And [as for the Prophet s wives,] whenever you ask them for anything that you need, ask them from behind a screen: this will but deepen the purity of your hearts and theirs. Moreover, it does not behove you to give offence to God s Apostle - just as it would not behove you ever to marry his widows after he has passed away: that, verily, would be an enormity in the sight of God. 54.
