Anyways, he has a point. People backbite all the time and its a massive sin. Even the other day, I was talking about a colleague that irritated me the other day! May Allah forgive us all.
Angelina I don't want you to think I am some extreme Muslim who thinks all Muslims are gone, I believe now we are waking up to our ignorance and I have hope for the ummah, but we cannot move forward unless we realise how ignorant we are, If i cannot convince a person addicted to smoking he is addicted how we will ever tackle the problem, I have worked in schools and been around many muslims myself and worked with youth organisations to help Muslims and we are really in a bad sitation, I am now going to list of sins (most of which are major sins)which Muslims commit that they could care less about and think they are ok, and also claim to be religious while doing:
Music
P0rn
Freemixing
Making fun of other peole
Making fun of Allahs creation as a joke
Lying
Slander
Zina
Going parties of festivals
Drugs
Watching movies(these movies are filled with major sins it baffles me how u can think watching and enjoying people commit all types of major sins is not a sin in of itself)
Not lowering gaze
Overeating food
Wasting money on useless things
NOt making any effort to understand what they are saying in prayer
Not concentrating in prayer
Envying other Muslims
Having evil thoughts of other Muslims
Desiring to commit zina or haram with someone
Having arrogance and kibr
Showing off
Not showing any mercy and kindness to people
Being verbally abusive
Spreading lies about people
Not going to the mosque for congregational salah
Being harsh in arguments and arguing all the time( I am guilty of this I do not free myself from blame I need to work on this Inshaallah)
Backbiting
Spreading gossip
Watching magic shows
Watching haram on youtube
Watching people prank other people for fun at the cost of other peoples feelings and enjoying it
Intentionally doing something to make other people feel bad about their lives
Complaining about how hard your life is to other people instead of Allah, essentially being discontent with Allahs decree
Committing minor sins and persisting in them which turns them into major sins
Not fearing Allah or his punishment
Doing good deeds to please other people or yourself not solely for Allah
Giving charity to show off
Disrespecting parents, any kind of disrespect even grunting is a major sin
Despairing in the mercy of Allah
Lying and talking about the religion without any knowledge
Not dressing properly
Wearing clothes with items of shirk on them
Swearing by other than Allah
Cursing people or wishing bad on them
Celebrating kufr celebrations like birthdays and Christmas
Being nationalistic
Eating alot of unhealthy food to the point where u damage your body(very common)
Cutting off family ties
Not seeking knowledge on obligatory things
Stealing anything from anybody without their permission, even if it is a 5p coin or a pen
Not doing the work people told you to do/ not fully completing your contract, alot of Muslims do this in work, they do not fully do what they are supposed to but get payed for their hours
Earn their money from haram sources(very common)
Be deceitful when in business
Engage in riba
In fact I think I could mention 100 more that 90% of Muslims do but I think my point is clear
