Purpose of this site

Alfafaa.com is an Ethical Social Media Platform designed by the community volunteers for the betterment of the society at large. Our goal and mission are simply to share the positive knowledge and wisdom to all communities across the world. God says in the Quran,

This site is designed for those of us who would like to have a safe and positive platform to express their knowledge, wisdom, good moral character, exchange goods and services and or to communicate with their family and friends across the globe in a safe environment. Our site is guided by Ethical Standards found in Quran and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him.

Our code of ethical conduct on this platform is guided by the following:

1. O you who believe! Avoid much suspicion, indeed some suspicions are sins. And spy not neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting). And fear God, verily, God is the one who accepts repentance, Most Merciful. The Quran 49:12
2. Prophet Muhammad said: “Do you know what backbiting is?” They said, “God and His Messenger know best.” He then said, “It is to say something about your brother that he would dislike.” Someone asked him, “But what if what I say is true?” The Messenger of God said, “If what you say about him is true, you are backbiting him, but if it is not true then you have slandered him.” (Muslim)
3. “O you who believe! If a Faasiq (liar — evil person) comes to you with any news, verify it, lest you should harm people in ignorance, and afterwards you become regretful for what you have done” The Quran 49:6
4. “Let whosoever believes in Allah and in the Last Day either speak good or be silent. Let whosoever believes in Allah and in the Last Day honor his neighbor. Let whosoever believes in Allah and in the Last Day honor his guest.” (Al-Bukhari & Muslim)
5. “Say to the believing men that they restrain their eyes and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Surely, Allah is well aware of what they do.” The Quran 24:31
6. “O prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be recognized and not be abused. And ever is Allah forgiving and merciful.” The Quran 33:59
7. “O ye who believe! Eat not up your property among yourselves in vanities; but let there be among you traffic and trade by mutual good-will: nor kill (or destroy) yourselves: for verily Allah hath been to you Most Merciful!” The Quran 4:29
8. “Give full measure when ye measure, and weigh with a balance that is straight; that is the most fitting and the most advantageous in the final determination.” The Quran 17:35
9. “Woe to those that deal in fraud, those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, exact full measure, but when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due.” The Quran 83:1
