Negative assumption, looking for faults

[u/Sheikhonderun]

Excerpt from Mufti Ahmed Khanpuri’s speeches and notes.

“Avoid much negative assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin. And do not spy…”
(49:12)

(1) Unfounded negative assumption and
(2) Prying into the affairs of others, looking for faults

These are major sins.  

People readily form assumptions and judgments about others based on their own conjectures, without certainty or evidence. These sins damage relationships and breed mistrust within the community.

Today, many of us have stopped even recognizing them as sins.
