Some people asked Hazrat Mohammad (Sal-allahu-aleihi-wassallam), "Whose Islam is the best? i.e. (Who is a very good Muslim)?" He replied, "One who avoids harming the Muslims with his tongue and hands." ( Sahih Bukhari )
Allah's Messenger (Sal-allahu-aleihi-wassallam) said, "Do you know the thing which most commonly brings people into Paradise? It is fear of Allah and good character. Do you know what most commonly brings people into Hell? It is the two hollow things: the mouth and the private parts."( Narrated by Abu Hurayrah Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted it. )
Prophet (s.a.w.) said,” He who believes in Allah and in the Last Day, should honor his guest. And he who believes in Allah and in the Last Day, should speak good (khair), otherwise, remain quiet.”
In another Hadeeth, Prophet Mohammad (s.a.w.) said, “Majority of a person’s sins emanate from his tongue.”
Prophet Mohammad (s.a.w.) advised, saying: “Stay silent for long periods, as this keeps Satan away from you and helps you in the practice of your religion.”
The Prophet (s.a.w.) also said: “No servants of Allah’s belief will be correct until his heart is corrected, and his heart will never be corrected until his tongue is”.
In controlling of our speech, we find two ways to train ourselves.
The first method is to be quiet unless we have something good to say.
The second mode is to talk but avoid certain types of speech, such as backbiting, Laghw (vain talk or pointless talk), making fun of others.
If we follow the first method of remaining quiet unless it is good, then we have also succeeded in avoiding backbiting and making fun of others as these are grave sins mentioned in the Holy Quran.
May Allah (SWT) grant us all the ability to control our tongues from that which is wrong, Ameen.
