The believer is one that does not engage in gharrar (buying & selling when person doesn't know wht they've bought or sold); najwa (involving the Nabi or muslim in a plan they know nothing about. Sometimes bad even if plan is for good); & laghwa (using ambiguous speech) Allah has said that there is no Laghwa in Paradise. I believe that doing these 3 things will cause the doer to lose Paradise (Jannah, The Gardens).
"They shall there exchange, one with another, a (loving) cup free of frivolity (laghwa), free of all taint of ill."~Holy Quran 52:23
{Laghwa means vain talk or obscene language, but, also connotes ambiguity.}
"Turnest thou not thy sight towards those who were forbidden secret counsels (najwa) yet revert to that which they were forbidden (to do)? And they hold secret counsels among themselves for iniquity and hostility, and disobedience to the Apostle. And when they come to thee, they salute thee, not as God salutes thee, (but in crooked ways): And they say to themselves, "Why does not God punish us for our words?" Enough for them is Hell: In it will they burn, and evil is that destination!
O ye who believe! When ye hold secret counsel (najwa), do it not for iniquity and hostility, and disobedience to the Prophet; but do it for righteousness and self- restraint; and fear God, to Whom ye shall be brought back.
Secret counsels (najwa) are only (inspired) by the Evil One, in order that he may cause grief to the Believers; but he cannot harm them in the least, except as God permits; and on God let the Believers put their trust."~Holy Quran 58:8-10
"Muslim relates from Abu Hurairah that, "The Messenger(saws) of Allah (swt) prohibited sales of whatever a pebble thrown by the seller hits and sales in which there is a chance of risk (gharrar)"
(Nasir al-Mutarriza:) Gharrar is chance or risk meaning it is not known whether it will come to be or not, such as selling fish in the water or birds on the wing. It includes transactions of unknown things, the particulars of which are not fully comprehended by the buyer and seller (al Mughrib fi tartib al-Mur'rib (y94), 2.100).
Gharrar is also mentioned at Holy Quran 7:22, "So by deceit (bi ghuruwr) he brought about their fall: when they tasted of the tree, their shameful parts became manifest to them, and they began to sew together the leaves of the Garden over their bodies. And their Lord called unto them: "Did I not forbid you that tree, and tell you that Satan (Aoudhubillahi) was an avowed enemy unto you?"
It is probably safe to say that the only ones that are free to practice Najwa would be Allah (swt) Himself and His Malaika (Angels). But, it is permissible for doing good and righteousness.
