Explanatory Note

Islam naturally denounces this despicable and shameful characteristic in strong terms. It spoils people's hearts and destroys -friendships. It degrades the one who does it before it spoils relations between others. It undermines the person's own character even before undermining society. It creates mistrust between people and often lands the innocent in trouble.

Moreover, this person is a 'hinderer of good', preventing it from reaching him and others. He used to prevent people from accepting the divine faith, even though it is the sum of all goodness.
