Prohibition of Reading Someone Else’s Writing or Letters - And How It Relates to Today’s Digital Resources Introduction Among the refined etiquettes taught in Islam is respect for others' privacy. This includes refraining from reading another person’s writings, letters, or personal notes without their permission. Scholars have discussed this issue extensively, drawing evidence from hadith, the practice of the Salaf, and juristic principles. Foundational Evidence from the Hadith The foundation for this etiquette is based on the narration attributed to the Prophet ﷺ: “Whoever looks into his brother’s writing without his permission is as though he is looking into Hellfire.” This narration has been reported from Ibn ʿAbbās (رضي الله عنهما) through various chains. However, scholars of hadith have classified it as weak (ḍaʿīf).

Online shopping is a funny thing. One minute you’re looking for a new phone cover, the next you’re convincing yourself that you absolutely need a bread-making machine, even though you barely toast bread. That’s the magic (or madness) of e-commerce—it nudges us, tempts us, and sometimes outright bullies us into buying.
But here’s the real question: what actually makes us click "Buy Now"?
For some, it’s the glowing reviews from other customers. If enough people say “this vacuum cleaner changed my life,” you start believing it might just change yours too. Others are laser-focused on the price tag—because let’s be honest, nothing beats the thrill of scoring a 50% discount and pretending you “saved” money by spending it.
Then there are the visual folks, who can’t resist slick product photos and an irresistible description. (If a frying pan is marketed as “chef-grade,” suddenly you’re imagining yourself cooking like Gordon Ramsay—minus the shouting.) Delivery time is another deal-breaker. Nobody wants to wait three weeks for something they’ll probably forget they ordered. And of course, the cautious crowd likes to check the return policy—just in case the “life-changing” gadget arrives looking like it survived a small explosion.
The truth is, all these factors play a role, but one usually tips the scale more than the rest. And that’s where I’d love your input.
