Opinion: The Importance Of Keeping Secrets In Islam, By Murtadha Gusau
All praise is due to Allah, Lord of all creation. May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon the Messenger, his family, his Companions and those who follow him till the Hour is established.
In the Sunnah we find a warning against seeking out the secrets of others, and spreading secrets that should not be spread. “Whoever looks into some people’s house without their permission, and they put his eye out, there is no diyah and no qisas .” And according to one report through this isnad, “… and it is worthless.”
The secrets of the home should not be disclosed, and wise men and those who are religiously committed advise the one who knows a secret not to disclose it. If you want to tell someone a secret, be sure that you could trust him or her with your honour. He or she must be as meticulous about keeping your secret as he or she would be about his or her own honour. An unreliable person, one who is ignorant of the value of chastity, should not be entrusted with keeping your secret.
Bear in mind that those who carry other’s secrets to you might bear yours to others. Do not give such tactless people any chance to learn even the smallest details of your private concerns.
