Superiority Complex Leads to Evil CONTENTS
English book, p. 481
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
Don’t Discuss the Faultsof Others to others of their faults and their deficiencies. By speaking of the virtues of others, positive values are promoted in society. On the contrary, if people’s negative points and weaknesses are spoken of to one another, then negative concepts will be promoted in society. Speaking of one another’s personal failings or weaknesses is called backbiting. Even if you find some failing or shortcoming in someone you should meet that person and advise him of this privately. Talking of these failings in public is highly objectionable. An even graver evil is talking about shortcomings which the person concerned does not have. This is called slander and is without doubt a great crime. While blaming others baselessly, one should think very seriously that this is a bilateral matter. That is, if the person concerned is not blameworthy, the accusation will rebound on the accuser, and he himself will be held blameworthy in the eyes of God.
