Guard Your Tongue: Speak Only What Pleases Allah

Have you ever wondered why you can talk for hours without feeling tired yet struggle to exercise for just 20 minutes? 

The tongue was created with incredible endurance, designed to engage in the dhikr (remembrance) of Allah effortlessly and without limits. 

Unfortunately, instead of using this gift to glorify Allah, we often misuse it for gossip, backbiting, slander, and complaining.

Scholars have emphasized that you cannot establish a true connection with Allah unless you purify your speech and refrain from speaking ill of others.

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: “A servant may utter a word that pleases Allah without giving it much thought, yet Allah raises their rank because of it. Another person may utter a word that angers Allah without considering its significance, and because of it, they fall into Hellfire.”  (Sahih al-Bukhari)

This powerful reminder shows us that our words have weight. Choose them wisely, and use your tongue to earn Allah’s pleasure, not His displeasure.
