Who has never heard the word “flandah”? Almost every day the word is heard.
Generally the public understands the notion of slander as “all acts or dissemination of news that is not based on the fact”; or briefly slander is understood as “disseminate fake news”.
In Indonesian, slander is more often understood as fake news or rumors about someone who is motivated by malicious intentions to others.
That understanding is not wrong. But actually the definition of slander is wider than that. In the Arabic dictionary Majma al-Lughah al-Arabiyah (1958), there are several meanings of slander. Among them is:
temptations, trials, fascination, chaos, sedition, chaos, torment/suffering, strife, disasters, shirk, and trials.
In al-Qur’an the word slander turned out to also have a broad meaning.
This is evidenced by the mention of the word slander found in 34 places with different meanings Ikhtiar Baru Van Hoeve, 1994, Volume 2, h. 19-20).
The hadith books generally also contain a special chapter on slander. Kitab Sahih al-Bukhari— for example— contains no less than 76 hadiths about slander.
Such frequent mention, both in the Qur’an and the hadith, shows that slander is an important topic in Islam.
Broadly speaking, slander is defined as:
apostasy (out of Islam), civil war, cruelty, abuse, trials and trials, and bad words. Slander in the sense of apostasy is found in QS al-Baqarah: 193.
Apostates are slander because they can cause social-religious unrest among the Islamic community.
He will be the talk and he can disturb the faith of fellow Muslims.
That is why apostates will be punished severely. If there are apostates, then that is slander in the first sense.
Furthermore, in other verses, slander also means civil war (between Muslims). This is based on al-Qur’an Surat al-Maidah [5]: 71 which reads:
“And they thought that there would be no disaster (slander), then (therefore) they became blind and deaf” (QS. 5:71).
The verse above tells of the rejection of the Children of Israel’il against the prophets whom Allah sent to them. They belied and killed the messengers.
Based on this verse the mufassirs then took the understanding that some wars involving the companions of the Prophet were also slanders.
The war of Ali ibn Abi Talib versus Muawiya, the battle of Yazid ibn Mua-Kuwais versus Husein Ibn Ali in Islamic history later referred to as slander, even al-slander al-kubra (big slander).
Slander also means cruel acts. This is the most popular meaning of slander among the people.
As already mentioned in al-Qur’an surat al-Baqarah [2], verses 191 and 217:
“That slander is more cruel/mighty than killing”
Why is slander more cruel/devious than murder?
If it is associated with the meaning of slander as an act that can cause chaos, it is not surprising if it is considered more cruel than murder.
An example is the act of expelling friends from their hometowns, depriving them of their property, hurting or disrupting their religious freedom.
These include persecution efforts and all acts intended to oppress Islam and Muslims.
Of course we still remember how the Prophet and his noble friends were hindered by
disbelievers when they want to worship Allah by means of persecution, expulsion, even the wandering of their possessions, including their homes and the land where they live.
In this regard it should be an afterthought: is the expulsion of groups that are not considered to be consensual not a slander?
And is it not the same as the deeds of the infidels in the early days of Islam?
Slander also means chaos. It is said in al-Qur’an surat al-Anfal [8]: 73:
“As for the disbelievers, some of them became protectors for others. If you are (hai Muslims)
not doing what Allah has commanded there will surely be chaos (slander) on earth and great damage”.
The verse invites us Muslims to look after and protect one another; the Prophet in the already very popular hadith describes that
“relationship between fellow Muslims is like a building whose parts look after and strengthen each other”;
if the spirit of solidarity of fellow Muslims as described is no longer strong, even weaker and disappear, then it is certain that the Islamic world will experience chaos (slander).
Slander also means “ujian” or “veraban”. Explained in al-Qur’an surat al-Anfal [8]: 28:
“And know that your wealth and your children are only a trial, and verily only by Allah is the great reward”.
Treasures and children are considered part of God's trials because without faith and piety, both will bring chaos as well.
Many have received the trials of these treasures and children from Allah.
The most popular definition of slander is “words that mean to vilify people”.
However, according to Professor Quraysh Shihab (2000:154), vilifying people is more correctly called ghibah as stated in QS. al-Hujurat [49]: 12.
“O you who believe, avoid most prejudices, in fact some prejudices are sins.
Do not look for the faults of others and do not also some of you gossip (ghibah)
some of the others. Will one of you eat the flesh of his dead brother?
Of course, you are disgusted by him. Fear God. Verily, Allah is merciful, Merciful.”
In connection with the ghibah there is a hadith:
It is said that the Prophet. once asked his friends: “Do you guys what ghibah is?” They replied, “God and His Messenger know more.”. Nabi Saw. then explained, “Ghibah is talking about what other people do not like behind him.”
One of my friends asked,
“If what was talked about is true does it also include ghibah?”. The Prophet replied, “That's a hibah, whereas if what you are talking about is not true, then that's buthan” (HR. Muslim, Abu Dawud, and al-Tirmidhi).
In another hadith the narration of Ibn Majah and Ibn Umar is stated that the Prophet ordered that the Muslims
avoiding slander (which arises from wrong speech) because of the slip of the tongue is like the slipping of a sword.
Placed in the context of contemporary Indonesia, slander and the struggle to avoid it become contextual.
Placed in the context of religious moderation, which became the paradigm of the Ministry of Religious Affairs today—dan became
the main theme in all activities of the Ministry of Religious Affairs, including UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta—, avoids the slander of highway that will
accelerate the implementation of this paradigm among Indonesian Muslims. The avoidance of slander will be
the great contribution of Indonesian Muslims in safeguarding and nurturing this nation from the threat of conflict and disharmony. Obviously at length Gus Faiz.
