Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi (may Allah have mercy on him) goes so far as to say that the easiest way to avoid backbiting (Gheebat) is not to mention others at all, neither in praise nor in criticism, because this Satan is very vile. This is because when you mention someone in a good way, saying that a certain person is a very good man and has this goodness in him, it will remain in your mind that you are not backbiting about him but rather mentioning him in a good way. However, what will happen then is that while describing his good qualities, Satan will insert a sentence in between that will turn that goodness into evil. For example, he will say that a certain person is indeed a very good man... "but" he has such-and-such flaw in him. This word "but" will come and ruin everything. The result of this will be that the direction of the conversation will shift toward backbiting. Therefore, Hazrat Thanvi says that you should not mention others at all, neither in a good way nor in a bad way. And if you are mentioning someone in a good way, then sit down with tight preparation (be very vigilant) so that Satan does not put you on the wrong path.

Who is the True Sustainer?

Who is the True Sustainer?

✍🏻The servant was very obedient. The master became happy and increased his salary by five thousand. There was no change in his obedience, but he was not very grateful either. The master got very angry that "I increased his salary, but he did not even thank me properly." The next month, he reduced the salary by five thousand. The servant's obedience remained the same even now; he made no complaint. The master sent for him and said, "You are a very strange person. I increased your salary by five thousand, then reduced it. You remained exactly the same. What is all this?" The servant said, "Oh! Did you consider yourself the Sustainer (Provider of sustenance)? When a son was born to me, the very next day you increased my salary by five thousand. I understood that the Creator who gave the child also arranged for its sustenance alongside it, so I thanked Him. Then, on the day my mother passed away, you reduced my salary on that very day. I knew that she took her sustenance along with her, so even then I thanked Allah and remained content." 🖋️Then he said, "Sir, these decisions of livelihood (rozi-roti) are made somewhere else. We are just pawns who are moved back and forth to create the means."
