“O people of faith! Stay away from many prejudices, indeed some prejudices are sins and do not find fault with others and do not let any of you use some of the others. Do any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Of course you feel disgusted. And be devoted to Allah, verily Allah is all-beneficiary, all-merciful.” (Q.S Al Hujurat : 12)
