your dead brother, no rather you

10. •
Once a woman visited Aisha (r.a) and when the
woman got up to leave, Aisha (r.a) made a sign
with her hand indicating to the Prophet that the
woman was short of stature.
The Prophet (s.a.w) immediately chastised her,
saying, “You have said a saying that if mixed
with the sea it would change its colour.”
[Abu Dawood]

11. ‫ل‬ ٍ‫ة‬َ‫ز‬َ‫م‬ُ‫ه‬ ِّ‫ل‬ُ‫ك‬ِّ‫ل‬ ٌ‫ل‬ْ‫ي‬َ‫و‬ٍ‫ة‬َ‫ز‬َ‫م‬
“Woe to every slanderer
and backbiter.” [Humaza: 1]
“The telltale will not enter
paradise.”[Bukhari and Muslim]

12. Once the Prophet (s.a.w) passed
by two graves and said,
“They are being punished!
As regards to one of them, he used to go
around gossip-mongering and as regards
to the other he was not careful while
urinating” [Bukhari and Muslim]

13. “A person utters a word thoughtlessly (i.e., without thinking about its
being good or not) and, As a result of which, he will fall down into the
fire of Hell deeper than the distance between the east and the west. ”
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

14. Why to Think before we speak???

Surah Qaf: 18
“Not a word is said
except that there is a
watcher by him ready
to record it.”
Surah Qaf: 18

neglectful Good deeds vs Bad
deeds

15. Why to Think before we speak???
ُ‫ن‬‫م‬ْ‫ؤ‬ُ‫م‬ْ‫ٱل‬ َ‫ح‬َ‫ل‬ْ‫ف‬َ‫أ‬ ْ‫د‬َ‫ق‬ََ‫و‬‫۝‬
ْ‫م‬‫ه‬‫ت‬ َ‫ََل‬‫ص‬ ‫ى‬‫ف‬ ْ‫م‬ُ‫ه‬ َ‫ين‬‫ذ‬َّ‫ٱل‬
ََ‫و‬ُ‫ع‬‫ش‬ٰ‫ـ‬َ‫خ‬‫۝‬
‫ٱل‬ ‫ن‬َ‫ع‬ ْ‫م‬ُ‫ه‬ َ‫ين‬‫ذ‬َّ‫َٱل‬‫و‬‫و‬ْ‫غ‬َّ‫ل‬

“Indeed successful
are the believers,
those who in their
prayer have
Khushoo’ and those
who refrain from
vain talk.”

16. “Whoever can guarantee me what is
between his two lips and what is
between his two legs, I can guarantee
for him Paradise.”

17. Don’t mix bad words with your
bad mood!
You will have many opportunities
to change your mood, but you will
never get the opportunity to
replace the words you spoke.

18. “Do not indulge in excessive talk except
when remembering Allah.
Excessive talking without the
Remembrance of Allah hardens the
heart;
and those who are the farthest from
Allah are those whose hearts are hard.”
[At-Tirmidhi]

19. An experiment proved
that the decaying of an
apple was faster in the
bottle that had the
word ‘HATE’ written on
it as compare to the one
which had ‘LOVE’
written on its bottle!
Do our words really have an impact
on others?

right. He will set right for you your deeds and forgive your
sins. And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger has
certainly attained a great achievement.”

Day must either speak good or
remain silent.'' [Muslim]

O Allah! I seek
refuge in You from
the evils of my
hearing, the evils of
my seeing, the evils
of my tongue; the
evils of my heart and
the evils of passions
[Abu Dawud]
