An Admonishment:
We can kid around, and have fun with our sisters, without indulging in Haram and without wasting long hours not doing anything fruitful or productive for the Sake of Allah.
◽️“There are two blessings which many people do not make the most of and thus lose out: good health and free time.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6412.
Sadly though, instead of making our gatherings blessed circles of remembrance and receiving the Mercy of Allah, we find ourselves perhaps paving our way to the Wrath of Allah by the evils of our tongues....
Backbiting, slandering, spreading rumours, exposing each other and revealing even own sins has aoo'dhubillah become a norm.
Where has our Hayah and shame gone when we talk about not only sisters in their absence, but even the brothers and others husbands are not safe from our tongues?!
Some may even read a book towards the end or at the beginning of the meeting, but the rest of the hours are spent wagging our tongues with little to no fear of Allah!!
Be honest with yourselves! Do you deem these gatherings to be blessed?! Are these circles of Dhikr upon whom the Angels descend??! Those who recieve the Mercy and Forgiveness of Allah سبحانه وتعالى!!
Have we forgotten the ugliness of our own nafs that we LOOK DOWN upon the sins of others?!

◽️If Allah gives you the privilege of praying at night, do not look at someone who is sleeping scornfully, because it is possible that someone who is sleeping is closer to Allah than you.
[Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah), Madarij as-Salikeen, pg. 177]
And to have spent the night sleeping and awoken regretful is better than to have spent the night standing (in prayer) and awaken impressed with oneself.
[Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah (rahimahullah), Madarij as-Saalikeen, 1/183]
Ahmad reported: Mutarrif, may Allah have mercy on him, said, “That I spend the night sleeping and awaken regretful is more beloved to me than to spend the night standing in prayer and awaken impressed with myself.”

About the evil of revealing own sins to others:
"Speaking about your sin and flaunting it openly in front of your friends is haraam, and is a major sin. It is one of the ways of spreading immorality among the Muslims, encouraging evil and tempting others to do similar things. It also means that one does not take sin seriously and regards it as insignificant, and that the sinner is damaging his own reputation and exposing his honour to the slander of others. Islam seeks to put people off from doing such things in the strongest possible terms, as in the following hadeeth:
Abu Hurayrah said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “All of my ummah will be forgiven except those who sin openly. It is a part of sinning openly when a man does something at night, then the following morning when Allaah has concealed his sin, he says, ‘O So and so, I did such and such last night,’ when all night his Lord has concealed him and the next morning he uncovers what Allaah had concealed.”
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5721; Muslim, 2990)."

About the gravity of letting our tongues loose against our brothers/sisters:
◽️Al-Hujurat 49:12
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱجۡتَنِبُواْ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ ٱلظَّنِّ إِنَّ بَعۡضَ ٱلظَّنِّ إِثۡمٌۖ وَلَا تَجَسَّسُواْ وَلَا يَغۡتَب بَّعۡضُكُم بَعۡضًاۚ أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمۡ أَن يَأۡكُلَ لَحۡمَ أَخِيهِ مَيۡتًا فَكَرِهۡتُمُوهُۚ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ تَوَّابٌ رَّحِيمٌ
O you who believe! Avoid much suspicions, indeed some suspicions are sins. And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting). And fear Allah. Verily, Allah is the One Who accepts repentance, Most Merciful.
Abu Bakr Ibrahim Ali (Bakurube)
◽️Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
“Do you know what ghibah (backbiting) is?”
They said, “Allah and His Messenger know best.”
He said, “Saying something about your brother that he dislikes.”
It was said, “What if what I say about my brother is true?” He said, “If what you say is true then you have backbited about him, and if it is not true, then you have slandered him.” [Muslim]
◽️Ibn ‘Abbas said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) passed by two graves and said,
“They are being punished, but they are not being punished for anything that was difficult to avoid. One of them used to walk about spreading malicious gossip (namimah), and the other used not to take precautions to avoid getting urine on himself when he urinated.”
Then he called for a green branch, which he split in two and planted a piece on each grave, and said, “May their torment be reduced so long as these do not dry out.”
[al-Bukhari, Muslim]
◽️Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said:
Whoever wrongs a person by slandering him, backbiting about him or insulting him, then repents, Allah will accept his repentance, but if the one who was wronged finds out about that, he has the right to settle the score.
But if he slandered him or backbit about him and the person did not hear of that, then there are two views according to the scholars, both of which were narrated from Ahmad, the more correct of which is that he should not tell him that he spoke against him in his absence. It was said that he should rather speak well of him in his absence just as he spoke badly of him in his absence, as al-Hasan al-Basri said: the expiation for ghibah is to pray for forgiveness for the person about whom you backbit.” (Majmu’ al-Fatawa)
◽️Sheikh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen رحمه الله said:
الغيبة من الكبائرا, التي لا تكفرها الصلاة، ولا الصدقة ولا الصيام
ولا الحج.
“Backbiting is from major sins, which is not expiated by prayer, charity, fasting or Hajj.”

It is said that a servant will receive his book of deeds on the Day of Resurrection and he will not see any good in it. He will say: Where are my prayers? Where is my fasting? Where are my acts of obedience? It will be said: All of your good deeds have been lost because you were backbiting against people.

Turn back to Allah in repentance, and start afresh with new hopes and determination ♥ Let us aspire to be Ibaadu-Rahman, among the Muhsinin who remind others of Allah with our beautiful akhlaq, in the way we try to emulate Rasululllah ﷺ in every way of life, our humbleness, kindness and down to earth nature; our compassion and mercy towards the believers and Jama'ah while being strict and harsh against the disbelievers. Let's us strive to do whatever pleases Allah and steer away from what may displease Him.

وَٱتَّبِعُوٓا۟ أَحْسَنَ مَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ بَغْتَةً وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ
And follow the best of that which is sent down to you from your Lord (i.e. this Qur’ân, do what it orders you to do and keep away from what it forbids), before the torment comes on you suddenly while you perceive not!
◽️Al-Ma'idah 5:54
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَن يَرْتَدَّ مِنكُمْ عَن دِينِهِۦ فَسَوْفَ يَأْتِى ٱللَّهُ بِقَوْمٍ يُحِبُّهُمْ وَيُحِبُّونَهُۥٓ أَذِلَّةٍ عَلَى ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَعِزَّةٍ عَلَى ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ يُجَٰهِدُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا يَخَافُونَ لَوْمَةَ لَآئِمٍۚ ذَٰلِكَ فَضْلُ ٱللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ
O you who believe! Whoever from among you turns back from his religion (Islâm), Allâh will bring a people whom He will love and they will love Him; humble towards the believers, stern towards the disbelievers, fighting in the Way of Allâh, and never fear of the blame of the blamers. That is the Grace of Allâh which He bestows on whom He wills. And Allâh is All-Sufficient for His creatures’ needs, All-Knower.
◽️An-Nisa' 4:26-27
يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ لِيُبَيِّنَ لَكُمْ وَيَهْدِيَكُمْ سُنَنَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ وَيَتُوبَ عَلَيْكُمْۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ
Allâh wishes to make clear (what is lawful and what is unlawful) to you, and to show you the ways of those before you, and accept your repentance, and Allâh is All-Knower, All-Wise.

Be the righteous friend:
The righteous friend reminds you of your Lord whenever you become heedless of His remembrance; he helps you and joins you when you are remembering your Lord.
◽️The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “The believers (in their mutual support) are like a structure, parts of which support other parts” – and he interlaced his fingers. Agreed upon.
◽️An-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
This report clearly refers to the great rights that the Muslims have over one another, and urges them to show compassion to one another, be kind to one another and support one another in anything that is not sinful or disliked.
The righteous friend is the one who does not look for or seek out the faults of his brothers; rather he seeks excuses for them.
◽️Ibn Maazin said: The believer tries to find excuses for his brothers, whereas the hypocrite seeks out their faults.
◽️Al-Fudayl ibn ‘Iyaad said: Chivalry is to overlook the errors of your brothers.
Aadaab al-‘Ishrah (p. 1-3).
◽️The righteous friend is the one from whose words and actions the Muslims are safe, as the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said describing the Muslim.
◽️Abu’l-Fayd ibn Ibraaheem al-Misri said: You should keep company with one from whose harm you are safe, seeing him encourages you to do good, and he reminds you of your Lord.
Aadaab al-‘Ishrah (p. 3).
◽️The characteristics of the righteous friend include his cheerful manner, gentle speech, big-heartedness, generosity, suppression of anger, and avoiding arrogant behaviour; he shows respect and expresses joy for what he is blessed with of the friendship and brotherhood of others.
◽️His heart is free of rancour, and he offers sincere advice to his brothers and accepts it from them.
◽️He is easy-going with his brothers and does not go against them in matters that are right and proper; he refrains from criticizing them.
◽️Righteous friends love to visit one another, meet one another and be generous to one another; they are cheerful when they meet and shake hands warmly.
Muslim (2567) narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “A man visited a brother of his in another town, and Allah sent an angel to wait for him on the road. When he came to him, he said: Where are you headed? He said: I am headed to a brother of mine in this town. He said: Have you done him any favour for which you hope to be recompensed? He said: No, but I love him for the sake of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted. He said: I am a messenger from Allah to you, to tell you that Allah loves you as you love him for His sake.”

Magnitude of His Forgiveness
'Abd Al-Malik ibn Marwān (d.86H), gave a touching sermon one day. He stopped midway and began to weep, saying:
يا رب إن ذنوبي عظيمة، وإن قليل عفوك أعظم منها، فامح بقليل عفوك عظيم ذنوبي
"O Rabb, my sins are immense and yet a speck of your forgiveness is truly greater, so erase with a speck of your forgiveness the greatness of my sins."
When Al-Hasan al-Basrī was informed of these words, he too wept and said:
لو كان كلام يكتب بالذهب لكتبت هذا
"If words could be written in gold, I would write this."

If you are sincere in your intentions, Allah will most definitely show you a way. All it takes is some hope, trust and perseverance.
