�O you who believe! If a Fasiq (liar � evil person) comes to you with any news, verify it, lest you should harm people in ignorance, and afterwards you become regretful for what you have done.� (49:6) �Not a word does he utter but there is a watcher by him ready (to record it).� (50:18) "Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.� (104:1) == I wonder why we gossip? is it because it reveals others to us? And why should others be revealed to us? Why do you want to know others? Why this extraordinary concern about others? First of all, why do we gossip? It is a form of restlessness, is it not? Like worry, it is an indication of a restless mind. Why this desire to interfere with others, to know what others are doing, saying? It is a very superficial mind that gossips, isn't it? - an inquisitive mind which is wrongly directed. The questioner seems to think that others are revealed to him by his being concerned with them - with their doings, with their thoughts, with their opinions. But do we know others if we don't know ourselves? Can we judge others, if we do not know the way of our own thinking, the way we act, the way we behave? Why this extraordinary concern over others? Is it not an escape, really, this desire to find out what others are thinking and feeling and gossiping about? Doesn't it offer an escape from ourselves? Is there not in it also the desire to interfere with others' lives? Isn't our own life sufficiently difficult, sufficiently complex, sufficiently painful, without dealing with others', interfering with others'? Is there time to think about others in that gossipy, cruel, ugly manner? Why do we do this? You know, everybody does it. Practically everybody gossips about somebody else.

Other than alcohol and pork which are considered Haraam or illegal to consume in Islam there are a lot of other forms of haraam that are considered very sinful and are unlawful. It is haraam to eat meat that was slaughtered without the name of Allah. Meat that is slain with the name of Allah is considered zabiha and is halal or lawful to eat. Shirk is considered haraam and is the most forbidden act in Islam. It is when one equates something else with God. It is very sinful to commit shirk in Islam and it is not considered easily forgiven by God. It is also haraam to be a hypocrite in Islam. People that go around committing acts of violence, consuming alcohol or doing forbidden things and claiming that they are a Muslim are considered hypocrites. They insult what Islam really is and are not easily forgiven by God, but it is forgiven. Adultery is also very sinful in Islam and is considered haraam. It is forbidden in Islam for a man and a woman to have an illicit relationship and to have sex outside marriage. This means no married man or woman can have an illicit relationship with someone other than their spouse and no form of homosexuality is allowed which is also haraam. However, the Qur'an gives a man permission to have sexual relations with his wives: "The believers must (eventually) win through, those who humble themselves in their prayers; who avoid vain talk; who are active in deeds of charity; who abstain from sex, except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the captives) whom their right hands possess, for (in their case) they are free from blame" (23:1-6). A Muslim is not to have sexual relations with a woman who is married to someone else "And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess. It is a decree of Allah for you" (4:24). Sex outside marriage, though, is circumvented in Shia Islam by allowing temporary marriages. "We used to participate in the holy wars carried on by the Prophet and we had no women (wives) with us. So we said (to the Prophet ). "Shall we castrate ourselves?" But the Prophet forbade us to do that and thenceforth he allowed us to marry a woman (temporarily) by giving her even a garment, and then he recited: "O you who believe! Do not make unlawful the good things which Allah has made lawful for you.""(Bukhari (60:139), quoting Sura (5:87)) Wearing revealing clothes is also considered haraam. Women and even men have a duty to be modest in Islam and it is forbidden to wear clothes that accentuate the body. Women should draw a covering over her general daily covering (known as jilbab or abaya) whilst ensuring that only the face and hands are visible. Men should not wear tight jeans or shorts that go above their knees. Any act of violence, theft, threatening to hurt someone, fraudulent behavior, rape or being untruthful toward other Muslims is also haraam and extremely forbidden in Islam. Islam means submission and Muslims that act in such a way toward other Muslims are considered fasiq (sinners). "Haraam" has, over the years, accumulated additional non-traditional uses to it. In Arabic-speaking countries, such as Lebanon, saying "haraam" can, more often than not, mean, "what a shame." This can be used formally or informally between friends.
