#RamadanReminders “The tongue is like a lion. If you let it loose, it will wound someone.” – Ali Ibn Abi Talib (Radi Allahu Anhu) Compared to limbs, the tongue is a small piece of flesh, but can cause more severe damage. The ability to verbally communicate is a blessing from Allah, and we should utilize it in a way that only pleases Allah, and brings benefit to others. For example: reading Quran, seeking and spreading knowledge, and enjoining the good and forbidding evil. Here are four questions to ask oneself before speaking: 1) Is it true? 2) It is necessary? 3) Is it kind? 4) Is it going to please Allah and bring me closer to Him? This involves staying away from vain talk, lying, foul speech, gossip, slander, and backbiting. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) advised us: “Whoever believes in Allah and the last day should speak good or keep silent.” (Bukhari)
