In a Hadith found in Sahih Bukhari, number 2662, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, warned against over praising others.
This is a disliked deed as it firstly can be sinful if the praise is based on falsehood, which often occurs when one over praises others. Even if it is true, over praising people, especially the ignorant, can cause them to become proud. This is an evil characteristic, as an atom’s worth of it is enough to take one to Hell. This has been warned in a Hadith found in Sahih Muslim, number 265. Over praising can even cause the praised person to believe they have fulfilled their potential in obeying Allah, the Exalted, and therefore do not need to strive harder in His obedience.
A muslim should not be fooled by the praise of others as they know their actions and inner hidden character better than any other person. Reflecting on this and the countless times Allah, the Exalted, has concealed their faults from people should prevent them from becoming proud. The truth is, if others knew all the hidden faults and sins of others, no one would praise another. In addition, they should remember that the praised quality they possess was granted to them by none other than Allah, the Exalted, therefore all praise belongs to Him. Finally, a muslim should become more grateful to Allah, the Exalted, by using the blessings they possess in ways pleasing to Him. One should advise others about this Hadith and warn them not to over praise others.
Only in certain cases is praising others acceptable. One must avoid over praising, always adhere to the truth and it should be done in order to encourage them to do more good. This especially applies to children such as, praising them in respect to their school work, good behaviour and when they fulfill the duties of Islam.
