1. Audio lecture: Speech by Mufti Ismail Menk –  part of a Ramadan tafseer series in which the speaker expands on specific verses of the Quran relating to the use of the tongue.
2. Audio lecture: Guarding the tongue by Shaykh Hussain Abdul Sattar  – on the importance of being careful in our speech.
3. Video lecture: Sensitivity around talking to others byt Nouman Ali Khan - part of his 2019 lecture series at Masjidul Quds in Cape Town
4. Document: A printable one-page collection of hadiths, quotes, and the relevant Quranic verse about backbiting.
