Allah & His Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم
love the excellent characteristic of remaining silent over vain speech
and have exhorted the believers to adopt this exemplary trai. And
indeed, one of the beautiful qualities of a believer is that he only
speaks good otherwise he remains silent. Unfortunately, in this day and
age, we have adopted an un-Islamic approach to this sphere of life and
taken on board the maxim'... words will never hurt...'
As a result of this, we deem the deeds of the tongue as being
insignificant in comparison to other deeds whereas the reality is that
the tongue can lead one to paradise or hell. This talk also outlines
the manner, conditions and circumstances in which we have been
instructed to speak by the Quran and Sunnah |
