PowerPoint Presentation: The Triple Filter
PowerPoint Presentation: During the golden Abbasid period, one of the scholars in Baghdad, the capital of Muslim caliphate at that time, was reputed to hold knowledge in high esteem.
PowerPoint Presentation: One day an acquaintance met the great scholar and said, " Do you know what I just heard about your friend?
PowerPoint Presentation: Hold on a minute, before telling me anything I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test . Scholar
PowerPoint Presentation: Triple Filter Test? The Man
PowerPoint Presentation: That's right, before you talk to me about my friend it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you're going to say. Scholar
PowerPoint Presentation: That's why I call it the triple filter test. The first filter is Truth . Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true? Scholar continued
PowerPoint Presentation: No, actually I just heard about it and ... The Man
PowerPoint Presentation: All right, so you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness . Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good? Scholar
PowerPoint Presentation: No, on the contrary... The Man
PowerPoint Presentation: So, you want to tell me something bad about him, but you're not certain it's true. You may still pass the test though, because there's one filter left: Scholar
PowerPoint Presentation: The filter of Usefulness . Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me? Scholar continued
PowerPoint Presentation: No, not really. The Man
PowerPoint Presentation: Well, if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all? Scholar
PowerPoint Presentation: يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اجْتَنِبُوا كَثِيراً مِّنَ الظَّنِّ إِنَّ بَعْضَ الظَّنِّ إِثْمٌ وَ لا تَجَسَّسُوا وَ لا يَغْتَب بَّعْضُكُم بَعْضًا أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَن يَأْكُلَ لَحْمَ أَخِيهِ مَيْتًا فَكَرِهْتُمُوهُ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَوَّابٌ رَّحِيمٌ Surah 49 Al-Hujurat Ayah 12
PowerPoint Presentation: O you who believe! Avoid much suspicions, indeed some suspicions are sins. And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting) . And fear Allah. Verily, Allah is the One Who accepts repentance, Most Merciful . Surah 49 Al-Hujurat Ayah 12 Translation of the meaning:
