SHAMING OTHERS FOR THEIR SINS
In a Hadith, the Holy Prophet ﷺ said that if a person shames his
brother for a sin he had repented from, he will not die till he commits that
sin himself. Allah Ta’alah does not like if a person keeps embarrassing another
person for a sin he has done Taubah (repentance) from, and keeps reminding him
that you are the person who committed such and such sin. Allah Ta’alah says
that when I have forgiven his sin, when I have hidden it from other people,
when I have erased it from his balance sheet, then who are you to keep
embarrassing him over it? If you keep humiliating him then I will get you
involved in that sin. It is a great sin to keep actively looking for faults of
other people, and to publicize them when one does find them. Allah Ta’alah has
sent us as His humble servants in this world, not as in charge of other people
so that we keep humiliating and embarrassing them.
