In addressing the destructive phenomenon of ghiba, the author outlines various countermeasures individuals can employ to guard against it.

Additionally, engaging in constructive dialogue, characterized by transparency and honesty, serves as an antidote to the whispers of backbiting. The text promotes a culture of direct communication, where grievances are addressed openly rather than through indirect commentary. Encouraging accountability and vulnerability within interpersonal relations nurtures an environment where ghiba is neither tolerated nor necessary.
