How to deal with Blame in Islam | Al-Noor sura 24

 

Let's talking about Sura Noor verse 11-14. Allah says about the blame framed by hypocrites against A'asha (r.a). 

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ جَآءُو بِٱلْإِفْكِ عُصْبَةٌۭ مِّنكُمْ ۚ لَا تَحْسَبُوهُ شَرًّۭا لَّكُم ۖ بَلْ هُوَ خَيْرٌۭ لَّكُمْ ۚ لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُم مَّا ٱكْتَسَبَ مِنَ ٱلْإِثْمِ ۚ وَٱلَّذِى تَوَلَّىٰ كِبْرَهُۥ مِنْهُمْ لَهُۥ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌۭ ١١

لَّوْلَآ إِذْ سَمِعْتُمُوهُ ظَنَّ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَـٰتُ بِأَنفُسِهِمْ خَيْرًۭا وَقَالُوا۟ هَـٰذَآ إِفْكٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ١٢

لَّوْلَا جَآءُو عَلَيْهِ بِأَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَآءَ ۚ فَإِذْ لَمْ يَأْتُوا۟ بِٱلشُّهَدَآءِ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ هُمُ ٱلْكَـٰذِبُونَ ١٣

وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُۥ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِى مَآ أَفَضْتُمْ فِيهِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ ١٤

These are the verses of Sura Noor 24:11-14

There are several lessons we can get from these verses. The lessons are:

• The hardship we face is not شر (Evil) but brings Good
• Justice i,e those who have framed the blame will be charged according to their participation
• You should have Good Thought (ظن) about believers (you should trust upon them)
• You should ask for 4 witnesses to prove the blame 
• The necessity of Allah, all seeing and hearing, it's His (فَضْلُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُۥ ) Mercy and Greatness of Allah that He is there. Allah will reward those who are falsely blamed and will charge those who have blamed someone 

 These are some of the beautiful lessons we learn from the couple of verses. Allah is saying clear crystal, Just, and mind blowing necessity of Allah to prevent the pain which others may afflict upon you otherwise.
