One of the most detested thing in any society and community is slandering and false accusation. These too acts can destroy someone's reputation in matters of seconds. Islam strongly and explicitly condemns slandering and false accusations, emphasizing both the worldly and spiritual consequences for such actions. Believers are urged to uphold truth, respect others, and refrain from spreading falsehoods, as these actions undermine social harmony and justice.
There are many verses in which Allah commands Muslims to be on the guard against the Satanic machinations lest believers falls in the evil trap. Passing slanders and falsely accusing another Muslim brothers are but done at the behest and enticement by evil.

Hadiths Prophet Muhammad ﷺ on above quoted subjects:
We will continue to add more such verses for the benefit of our readers, In Sha Allah.
وَمَا عَلَيۡنَاۤ اِلَّا الۡبَلٰغُ الۡمُبِيۡنُ
(36:17) and our duty is no more than to clearly convey the Message.”
That is Our duty is only to convey to you the message that Allah has entrusted us with. Then it is for you to accept it or reject it. We have not been made responsible for making you accept it forcibly, and if you do not accept it, we shall not be seized in consequence of your disbelief, you will yourselves be answerable for your actions on Day of Resurrection.
May Allāh (سبحانه و تعالى) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us to be like the ones He loves and let our lives be lived helping others and not making others' lives miserable or unlivable. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door.
Reading the Qur'ān should be a daily obligation of a Muslim - Reading it with translation will make it meaningful. But reading its Exegesis / Tafsir will make you understand it fully. It will also help the Muslims to have grasp over social issues and their answers discussed in the Qur'an and other matter related to inter faith so that they are able to discuss issues with non-Muslims with authority based on refences from Qur'an.
May Allah forgive me if my posts ever imply a piety far greater than I possess. I am most in need of guidance.
Note: When we mention God in our posts, we mean One True God, we call Allah in Islam, with no associates. Allah is the Sole Creator of all things, and that Allah is all-powerful and all-knowing. Allah has no offspring, no race, no gender, no body, and is unaffected by the characteristics of human life.
