The logic of the tongue is very dangerous for a person, as a person is a prisoner of his tongue, and that is why some of the wise said: God Almighty only created for you two ears and one tongue so that what you hear is double what you speak.

And what shows the severity of the danger of the tongue is that it is the first reason for people to throw people into the fire on their nostrils, as it was true in the hadith “Do people throw people to their nostrils in Hell except for the harvest of their tongues?” The honorable hadith showed the danger of the tongue to man in his religion, this world and the hereafter, which he refers to. Saying the truth, may He be glorified and exalted: {No word is uttered except that it has a watchful watcher over it} that is, two angels who write what the tongue has uttered; The watcher writes down the good deeds, and the forthcoming writes down the bad ones, and this warning is enough to deter a person until he guards his tongue, for if a wise person wants to transgress the limits of God Almighty, and knows that there is someone watching him to be held accountable for his actions; He will definitely stop out of fear of being blamed, so how can he not stop doing that, and God tells him that he is going to be obligated to him, and which one is going to?! He is imminent. He will not leave a small or a large one but he will count it, and as the owner of the Jewel of Tawheed said: “Even the groaning in sickness as it was transmitted.” That is why our Prophet and our beloved, the Chosen One, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, guided us to what benefits us in speech, which should not be overlooked.“He who believes in God and the Last Day should not harm his neighbor, and he who believes in God and the Last Day should honor his guest, and he who believes in God and the Last Day should speak good or remain silent.”

And it is one of the summaries of his words, peace and blessings be upon him, that I have given, and the witness of it now is silence about what is not good, for he, peace and blessings of God be upon him, urged saying good, and warned against saying others, until a person protects himself from the consequences of his saying, for if he does not occupy his tongue with saying good. The one who benefits him in his religion and this world, or benefits his fellow human beings as well, such as the remembrance of God Almighty, then there is nothing less than that he withhold from false speech, for abstaining from that is better for him than being held accountable for his words, as it was reported: “May God have mercy on a slave who said, then sheep, or Silence and peace.”

We do not need in this time to make this honorable hadith the way of our life in the words of the tongue or the tongue of the pen, for the pen is one of the two tongues, as that is no longer the pen whose ink is poured into the paper, so the written is trapped in the drawers, for the greatest danger today is in the electronic pen in the world The open space that spreads in the horizons in the blink of an eye, which may be a reason for the spread of temptation, hatred, and so on, even if it is a truthful statement, not everything that is known is said, let alone if it was a pure lie, then it would be a greater danger.

Saying goodness is the approach of the Muslim who watches his Lord, who knows that the blessing of the tongue requires the gratitude of the Most Merciful, the Most Merciful, who has bestowed it upon him so that he may express what is in his conscience and earn great good through it. The tongue is heavy in the scale, beloved to the Most Merciful.” As he said, peace and blessings be upon him, how about the word: There is no god but God and Muhammad is the Messenger of God, which is the key to Paradise? How about a word from the Noble Qur’an in which a letter counts as ten good deeds?! And how with one prayer upon the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, his family and his companions, and God bless him ten times?! And what about the word “There is no might and power except with God” which is one of the treasures of Paradise?!With such words, thanking God Almighty for a blessing that hurts the tongue, because He filled it with what it was created for. God Almighty did not create blessings in the servant or for the servant to be disobeyed by them, but rather to be thanked for them. {Taking authorize your Lord, while of rewards for Ozadnkm while Kfrm the Imnapl of severe} meaning: I know our Lord Almighty to thank for the blessing, not deny, it got thanks I know our Lord to increase the blessings, and odium know Almighty Bamabh his servant because he did not use grace as created for him, and Increasing His grace, Glory be to Him, to His servant, is to thank him for the blessing of the tongue, and uttering words is to increase him in success and maximize his reward, and from his torment is what was previously threatened to him who did not say good.Inform our Lord, Glory be to Him, to be thanked for His blessings, not to be denied. If gratitude occurs, our Lord knows the increase in blessings, and if he denies, He, Glory be to Him, knows His servant’s torment because he did not use the blessing in what it was created for him. It increases him in success and increases his reward, and from his torment he has what was previously threatened to him who did not say good.Inform our Lord, Glory be to Him, to be thanked for His blessings, not to be denied. If gratitude occurs, our Lord knows the increase in blessings, and if he denies, He, Glory be to Him, knows His servant’s torment because he did not use the blessing in what it was created for him. It increases him in success and increases his reward, and from his torment he has what was previously threatened to him who did not say good.

We ask God Almighty to protect our tongues from lying and our eyes from betrayal.

• Our Lord, Glory be to Him, informs us to be thanked for His blessings, not to be denied. If gratitude occurs, our Lord knows the increase in blessings, and if He denies, He, Glory be to Him, knows His torment to His servant.
