When Does Fun Cross a Line? The Quran's Answer | S1 E9 | Shk. Abbas Jaffer

What starts as an innocent catch-up with friends can quietly become one of the most condemned acts in the Quran — and most of us don't even notice it happening.In this episode, Sheikh Abbas Jaffer walks through a verse from Surah Al-Hujurat that uses one of the most striking images in all of scripture: that backbiting is like eating the flesh of your dead brother. We unpack the exact three-part definition of Riba, why "I'm only telling the truth" is no defence, and what you should actually do in the moment when a conversation starts to go the wrong way — whether that's with friends, in a workplace, or even in a business deal.We also explore something most of us have never considered — that the greeting As-salamu alaykum carries a responsibility to defend the dignity of others, not just our own. And we close with a question worth sitting with: if you could see the true reality of every word you said, would you still say it?Living the Quran — turning Quranic reflection into everyday action.
