What is the place of gossip in the Qur'an?


In the Qur’an, Allah forbids believers backbiting, and refers to it as an indecency:


… And do not backbite one another. Would any of you like to eat his brother’s dead flesh? No, you would hate it. Heed Allah. Allah is Ever-Returning, Most Merciful.  (Surat al-Hujurat, 12)

As commanded by this verse, people who live by Islamic morals and are like brothers and sisters to each other strictly avoid this behaviour. On the contrary, believers remember only each other’s good intentions and always try to highlight their good attributes. They do not try to find defects or faults in believers—people who are submissive to the will of Allah. Gossip, which indeed causes great distress to people in societies remote from Islamic morals, is a corruption that never exists among believers who maintain the limits set by Allah. When believers notice an imperfection or other defect in another, they do not backbite, but instead advise the person directly so that he will amend his unacceptable behaviour.
