Gossip serves no useful purpose, it is devoid of function. Its effects are devastating upon both the perpetrators of this evil practice as well as the intended targets. It destroys individuals/families/communities.
Gossip is employed to elevate the self against others, it is thus a self-exalting form of communication. It may also be used to deride/humiliate/insult/abuse those considered to be of inferior race/creed/nationality/faith. The latter type of gossip requires the acquiesence - either active or passive - of entire nations or of their majority.
Gossip originates in thought - thinking/believing bad of other human beings. This is translated into words - either spoken or written. The language of gossip is rarely, if ever, good. Often it is cruel and harsh, and made up of the worst possible phrases/terms/concepts in order to emphasize or highlight the imagined/percieved inadequacies of the unfortunate victims.
Gossip does not speak highly of the gossip-monger/s, whatever may be the justification, excuse, or pretext for indulging in it. Regarding people of Faith, whilst certain kinds of food that are prohibited may be eaten under extreme circumstances, gossip is compared to the consumption of the flesh of one's dead brother and is, therefore, categorically condemned and outlawed. Please see Surah 49, Al-Hujuraat,
Verses 11-12.
Prayer for protection from every kind of evil within and outside of oneself to be recited unceasingly:
'Aoudhu Billahi Min Ash-Shaitaan Ir-Rajeem.

Comments on this journal
May Allah SWT Bless you Sweetheart.
Take care.
The Qur?an has laid down the injunction stating: ??And do not spy or backbite each other?? ?O you who have believed! Do not enter houses other than your own houses until you ascertain welcome and greet their inhabitants??
You are right, silence is preferable to uttering evil words. We employ our tongues and mouths to recite/read the words of Allah SWT - to praise and glorify HIM and not to use hurt others. May Allah SWT Keep us safe from speaking ill or causing harm, Alhamdulillah.
Take care Sis
People gather to gossip and obviously it comes to a point when they ramble. Surely there is a difference between halal conversation and that which is not permissible (i.e. backbiting, gossiping, slandering and so forth.
Bismillah, the forbidden conversations briefly are those in which you mention your Muslim brothers and/or sisters with what they do not like to be mentioned with.
Gossiping is clearly bad and destructive for the soul. People have to take a break from gossiping.
If there is nothing to say well it does not stop anyone from taking a break! Thats what people should bear in mind. Its simple, if there is nothing to say...don't talk!
