Teaching Tools
  • As four-year-old Constance develops her mind-reading abilities, she sometimes uses them to pry into other people’s secrets for personal gain or reveals them to others. What would you do in her place? Islam puts a high value on people’s privacy, prying and spying are forbidden. We are taught that if you know something negative about a person and conceal it from others, Allah ﷻ will conceal your faults and sins on the Day of Judgment.
