Accusing others has negative impacts on relationships and society and should be avoided.
In the Holy Quran, the issue of accusing others and concealing truths is taken very seriously. In Surah An-Nur, verse 11, Allah says: "Indeed, those who came with falsehood are a group among you. Do not think it bad for you; rather, it is good for you." This verse clearly demonstrates that lying and accusing have negative consequences for both society and individuals and tend to cause harm rather than goodness. Furthermore, in Surah Al-Hadid, verse 19, it is stated: "And those who have believed and done righteous deeds are the best of creatures." This verse praises those who are loving towards one another and refrain from accusation and gossip. Accusing not only damages human relationships but also breeds suspicion and hostility within the community. Additionally, in Surah Al-Hujurat, verse 12, it is stated: "O you who have believed, avoid much [negative] assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin." This verse explicitly advises individuals to avoid suspicion, indicating that accusations can lead to wrongful judgments and distorted relationships. Overall, accusing others is an undesirable and inappropriate behavior in Islam, and one should avoid it to foster a peaceful and healthy life in society.
Indeed, those who came with falsehood are a group among you. Do not think it bad for you; rather, it is good for you.
And those who have believed and done righteous deeds are the best of creatures.
O you who have believed, avoid much [negative] assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin.
One day, a wise judge was sitting among the people, adjudicating disputes. A man came to him and said, "Judge, so-and-so has accused me and ruined my reputation." The judge calmly replied, "Dear brother, making accusations prevents peace and friendship among people. Let’s choose love over accusation and make life easier for ourselves." The complainant pondered over these words and realized how much better it was to choose kindness and righteousness instead of accusation and backbiting.
