TONGUE, ZUBAAN, اللسان:“Whosoever believes in Allaah and the Last Day, then let him speak good or remain silent.”

Protecting the Tongue

Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri narrated (that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam ) said: “When the son of Adam wakes up in the morning, all of his body parts bow to the tongue and say: ‘Fear Allah regarding us, we are only part of you. If you are straight we are straight, and if you are crooked we are crooked.” (Hasan) Chapter 60, Hadith #2407, Al Jami


Comments: It is an undeniable truth that, of all the apparent parts of a man’s body, it is the tongue that is more closely connected with his wrongdoings and acts of sin. As such all the parts of the human body remind it every day with all the humility and submissiveness at their command that all their affairs – their success, their prosperity and their good or bad end – are inalienably linked to it. They, therefore, entreat it to have compassion on them and keep within the boundaries set by Allah since any wrong doing on the part of the tongue could spell doom and ruination for them all. *The sins of the tongue are one of the most common to lead to hellfire.*
