Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:


By concealing (pardah poshi) is meant to refrain from exposing or publicizing someone’s sin or fault.


No human being is free from faults or mistakes; therefore, one should avoid disgracing others.


In the Hereafter, concealing (pardah rakhna) means forgiveness of one’s sins.


A good recompense for showing kindness to someone is received both in this world and in the Hereafter.
The way a person treats another, Allah Ta’ala also treats him in the same manner.
