 *Virtues of Silence*

[[---- Part Three ----]]
------------------------------

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

One of the enjoyments we have is using our tongue. However, most people are not using this tongue nicely. It starts from dirty talk, lies and even gossip and the like.  While in the real essence, the tongue is created to do dzhikr  (Remembrance of Allah SWT)

On the above,

Abu Hurayrah (r.a.) relates that the Prophet (pbuh) said: “Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should speak a good word or remain silent". 📚 Authentic Hadith

Slaves of Allah!

Rasullah (pbuh) commanded us to be careful of our tongues. Abdullah bin Sufyan narrated from his father:👇

“I asked to Rasulullah (pbuh), please advise me more about Islam, with a matter that I will not ask to anyone aside you.” Rasulullah (pbuh) said, “Please say, I do believe and then, Istiqomah.” He asked,” What should I take care of?" and Rasulullah hinted with his hand to his tongue". 📚(At Tirmidzi, An Nasa’i, Ibnu Majah)

My people!

In some case, being silent is not good but in most situation it helps a lot. Other than trying to make friends with others, it is better to stay silent because a tongue can act like sword that can kill you😳. Yes.

Now,

What are the benefits of this highly recommended act?Here are some benefits of being silent in Islam:

(1) Easy to Reflect On Things:

By being silent, we will talk less, close our mouth and open our mind wider at the same time. We could observe out surrounding and have a better understanding about what really happen. It freed us from prior judgement and we will be able to organize our thoughts in the end to reflect about things a lot.

(2) Showing Wisdom:

The more someone is silent, the wiser he gets. Wisdom is not a thing one can gained out of nothing, but through experience and reflection in every single thing. In fact, if one adopts silence, he will value his speech and therefore guard it like he guards his wealth.”

(3) Showing the Intelligent Side:

An intelligent person tend to be more silent. He will never be careless of what he may say but thinking deeply about it, over and over instead.. He never says foolish things.

(4) Guarding Us from Wrong Ideas:

A big fight and misunderstanding often caused by speech or talk. Thus, Islam strongly recommended Muslims to keep their silence for their own sake. Yes. Being silent serves as guardian from wrong ideas between people.

(5) Make the Heart Stronger:

A heart that loves to speak a lot is usually full of illness😳. Yes. This is the benefit of being silent. It makes our heart stronger.

As reported by Ibn Umar, the Prophet (pbuh) said,  “Don’t you talk much unless for zikr to Allah, because much talking leads to indomitable heart.. And the furthest human from Allah is the one with indomitable heart. these are those who are unwilling to receive guidance.” 📚(Tirmidhi)

(6) Protecting from the Sins:

People committing sins from time to time and before we know it, our sins become bigger and bigger. To avoid committing sins, there are one deed that we can do: - And it's being silent. People who can’t keep silent will be easier to make sins and even worse,, causing others in trouble. Silent is a Good Deed:

Doing good deed is an obligation for every Muslims and it’s the fastest way for us to enter Jannah. But there is one good deed that is the easiest to be done without having to try much, that is being silent.

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today?

 One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today? Alhamdulillah, it is clear from Quran and hadiths that any christian who dies believing Jesus is God or son of God and do not believe in prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him will enter hellfire. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:17 They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allāh is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allāh at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:72 لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَ...

Friday and it's dignity.

 Friday and it's dignity. Alhamdulillah, Allah says, Al-Jumu'ah 62:9 يَآأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوۡمِ ٱلۡجُمُعَةِ فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرࣱ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ O you who have believed, when [the adhān] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allāh and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew. Friday is the best day of the week because it was the day Adam was created, the day he entered paradise and the day he was removed from paradise. it was also the day he died and the hour(qiyaamah) will not come except on this day. Sahih. It was narrated from Aws bin Aws that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever washes (ghassala) and performs ghusl, comes early to the masjid and sits near the imam and does not engage in idle talk, he will have for every step he takes (the reward of) a year's worth of good deeds, fasting it and...
