THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Ahad. 18th day of Jumaadal Aakhir, 1445AH (Sunday, 31st December, 2023). *_CONTROLLING OUR TONGUE FROM BACKBITING AND SLANDERING_*. BismilLah.
Controlling the tongue for many people is more difficult than abstaining from food and drinks. It is easy to abstain from food and drink, but abstaining one’s tongue is a really difficult one even during fasting.
What we need to remember is that ALLAH is not in need of the fasting of such a person. The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said: “Whoever does not give up false speech and acting upon it, ALLAH has no need of him giving up his food and drink.” [Tirmidhi 707].
Even though it is difficult to always keep our tongue under control, let us try our best. Let us constantly keep reminding ourselves that we are not only abstaining from food and drink and that we are also abstaining from all sorts of sins, which will cause us to attain the anger of ALLAH. Our Mondays and Thursdays fasting rewards depend on the quality of how we made used of the day that's how we started and end the day not just avoiding eating and drinking but also how we restrained our tongue from bad words and phrases. How we recited and listened to the Quran. How many azkar and other good deeds we did, etc, such as giving Sadaqah and sincere advice to others, all add up to a more rewarding day.
*_May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences_*. Aameen.
