00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			The last one is
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			To falsely accuse the believing
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			females
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			who are innocent of the sin you are
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14
			accusing them of, primarily immorality.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			People today come out and say, that one
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			is having an affair with this one. This
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			one is having an affair. What did you
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			see? You just saw them talking together.
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			What else did you see? You saw one
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			message on the phone. What else did you
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			see? And you know how far your accusation
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			went? Subhanallah.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			I'm not condoning messages on the phones, but
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			I'm telling you, if the prophet
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:41
			says, be careful about accusing others of immorality,
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			then you need to know it's a serious
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			sin.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			It happened at the time of Rasulullah
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			Surat An Nur has in it verses that
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			have clarified accusations against our mother Aisha
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			That was not for nothing. Allah says,
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			The one who started all of it, the
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			main man who was behind the accusation
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			against Aisha
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			he will have a severe punishment. But more
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:09
			than that,
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:18
			Everyone who spread the tale, everyone who enjoyed
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:18
			the gossip
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			is going to be punished because of what
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			they have done, what they have earned.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			So there are 2 things we need to
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			know. Never accuse someone
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:29
			of something,
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			especially when it comes to immorality. Because false
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:35
			accusation is something major. And secondly,
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			never
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			become
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
			a person who enjoys gossip because then you
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			will be carrying tales. And when you carry
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			tales, naturally, you will carry something that is
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			wrong. And you will earn an equal portion
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50
			of the sin based on what you have
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:50
			done.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			So that is the one hadith
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			that speaks about the major sins or the
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			sins that we have been warned about.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			They will destroy you.
