Praise your lord

when you wake up, and at night but what is the meaning of "after the setting of the stars"? And exalt [ Allah ] with praise of your Lord when you arise. And in a part of the night exalt Him and after [the setting of] the stars. [Surah At-Toor : 48:49 . Sahih International translation]

Muttaqi

Some of the characteristics of Mutaqqeen: Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and springs, Accepting what their Lord has given them. Indeed, they were before that doers of good.They used to sleep but little of the night, And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness, And from their properties was [given] the right of the [needy] petitioner and the deprived. [ Surah Ad-Dariyat: 15-19 ] Translation by Sahih International

Back-biting and spying

O ye who believe! Shun much suspicion; for lo! some suspicion is a crime. And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you love to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Ye abhor that (so abhor the other)! And keep your duty (to Allah). Lo! Allah is Relenting, Merciful. [Surah Al-Hujurat: 12] translated by Pickthall
