Lesson 19
💧Ramadhân is the month to train the tongue; it is a time to train and perfect our speech to speak only good and refrain from evil speech.
The tongue may lead a person to the hellfire because of something he said out of carelessness.
💧Protect the tongue from unnecessary speech, backbiting, cursing, and lying; for anyone who doesn’t abandon evil speech, Allâh has no need of him to leave his food and drink.
💧Fasting is not just abstaining from food and drink.
💧There is an evidence that the purpose of fasting is to abstain from foul language and idle speech as the servant abstains from drinking and eating; and if he does not do so, his fasting has been shorted and he has presented himself to Allâh’s anger, and Allâh will not accept it from him.
💧Some of the salaf held the opinion that evil language invalidated the fast the same way as food and drink.
💧It is necessary to be consistent and continuous on abstaining from idle speech and backbiting; he has not fasted, the one who is consistent on eating the flesh of the people (by backbiting).
💧There is nothing more deserving on this earth of isolation and imprisonment than the tongue.
💧If one fasts, the hearing should fast from listening to harâm (like music), the eyesight should fast from looking at harâm, and the tongue should fast from lying and speaking harâm.
💧The servant may utter something and he’ll be completely unaware of the seriousness of what he said and because of it, he will dwell in the hellfire.
💧Say good and you will find success; be silent and you will be safe before you regret.
💧Protect your tongue, do not let it bite you, it is a scorpion; for there are people in their graves because of something they said.
💧The tongue can bring good and success, or it can bring destruction and harm.
