"There is an excellent Egyptian proverb about silence,
"If noise is made of silver, silence is made of gold."
The Arabic proverb is also great,
"You only talk when it's better than being quiet."
- Why is silence so important?
- Because the sins associated with the tongue are ruining our good deeds.
Now let us know the poetic sins caused by the tongue
01. To lie
02. Giving false testimony
03. Swearing falsely
04. Gossip
05. Slander
05. To curse
07. Peg
07. Gossip
Much of what we talk about all day seems unnecessary and full of lies and gossip. But every word that comes out of the mouth is being recorded.
God the Almighty said,
"He has a watchman on hand to record whatever people say." (Surah Qaf: 16)
On the Day of Judgment, it was seen that the scale of sin is heavier than our virtue.
Surprise! Never hurt anyone, never wronged anyone, then why this situation? Then the answer will come,
"These are the fruits of your sin."
That is why the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said,
"Most people will go to hell because of the sin committed by the tongue." (Tirmidhi: 1817)
What to do then? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) also solved it.
"Whoever believes in God and the Last Day, let him speak good words or be silent."
Can we control our tongue?
Or is the tongue controlling us ??
