Part 3 How can we fast and we persist in hurting others with our tongue engaging in slandering the honour of people, scorn, derision and obscenity? The Prophet (SWT) said: ‘A Muslim is that person whose tongue and hands other Muslims are safe from.’ The purpose of fasting is not hunger and thirst alone; it is to uplift and discipline. On the other hand the tongue has great potential for goodness. What a delight it would be if we use it to remember Allah, seek His Forgiveness, praise and thank Allah (SWT) and glorify Allah (SWT). What a delight it would be if we use our tongues to advice each other of Allah’s (SWT) commandments and forbid Allah’s (SWT) prohibitions! O Fasting brothers and sisters, let’s moisten our tongues with the remembrance of Allah (SWT), discipline it with God-consciousness and cleanse it from disobedience. O Allah (SWT), we ask You to grant us truthful and praising tongues, pure hearts and upright characters! Ameen!
