The Effects of Good & Bad Speech
Assalamu alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh SMIL ar-rahman rahim alhamdulillah wa salatu was-salam ala novice wa lillahi wa inna ilayhi was happy domani .
we praise allah subhana wa ta’ala we send blessings and salutations upon muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa send them his household his companions we ask Allah to bless them to bless every one of us to forgive our shortcomings and to grant us generally those paradise I mean my beloved brothers and sisters when Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’ala created adam alayhis-salam he was never a baby.
he was created and adult and Allah taught him the words of everything Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’ala gave him the language in surah allah says we taught Adam all the nouns all the words everything he was taught so when he came onto the earth he was already able to speak where did he learn the language the Quran says Allah taught him a question arises later on Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’ala created her world and Eve and when they came to the earth they were together they were able to communicate because communication is very very important for you and I to be able to get along to be able to achieve anything we need to communicate even if it is in sign language sometimes I don’t know your language .
you don’t know my language and you are seeing that I am stuck somewhere automatically as a human being your heart will make you one to help me even though.
I did not say one word because it was a communication based on the need that was understood by the other individual this is the creation of Allah so Allah subhana WA Ta’ala has kept communication very sacred through that communication you will enter paradise or you will be cast into hell fire so we don’t realize how it is actually a gift and the favor of Allah to be able to communicate you know look at those .
who are unable to speak how difficult it is for them what type of languages they have to learn and so on but still it is a gift of Allah that they too can communicate over the centuries and the decades and the millions of years or how much ever how many ever years it was peoples languages changed because as they increased in number and as they went along everywhere across the globe.
they communicated with each other and the dynamics changed but they still spoke to each other if you look at the languages in Africa alone they are all interconnected or mostly interconnected you look at Swahili you look at Hauser you look at Fulani some of the most prominent languages across Africa they are somehow interconnected subhanAllah you come into southern Africa you take a look at our languages here .
they are also interconnected but it is a favour of Allah what is the point what am I trying to say my brothers and sisters the ability to communicate is a gift given by Allah and Allah is watching you and he is marking how you use that ability later on the devil Shaitaan taught the children of Adam swear words do you really think a lot of swear words a word that is used you make your entire body changes in heat and temperature just because someone used one word against you or your mother one word they move their mouth and the voice came out and suddenly it’s like p amma for you .
you know the day of judgement has come people take out guns and shoot each other based on some voice that was came out of the voice box that lasted a split second and suddenly the world change of phase change your health change you collapsed based on that isn’t it something we need to be careful about don’t you really think that this tongue and the ability to communicate is something so powerful we need to be responsible this is part and parcel of our journey to paradise Allah created us on the earth to test us one of the things .
he is watching is how do you use your tongue while llahi we are failing you know why we call each other bad words terrible words we backbite we say hurtful things we lie we cheat we deceive and you know what we use words in order to create problems rather than to solve them rather than to read the Quran to engage in the dhikr of Allah to say loving words how many of us can go home and tell our spouses or our children or our parents or our siblings a loving word an encouraging word a kind word wallahi.
If a bad word can make you angry a kind word can even cure your sickness were lying why do you think it’s a Sunnah to go and visit those who are sick and ill and give them a word of encouragement it helps them it will cure them by the help of Allah they feel good if a bad word can make you sick and suffer a heart attack a good word can do the opposite for you.
So Hanna be an honor this is Allah Allah has taught you where’s subhanAllah and I’m not just watching everything you say is literally everything you utter is down man even in Japan allahu anhu was the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa send them and the prophets of assalam told him watch your tongue control this holding his tongue control this so more I’ll give me double of the Imam who looks at the prophet salallahu alayhi wa send the minister’s he rasoolallah om nama Hanabi Manipur will we be held accountable for what we say when we haven’t even done anything Wow you understand the question.
If I didn’t do it but I said it am i accountable for it do you know what the prophets of Allah they said I’m said he says sake let’s come oka yeah more you know that’s a cricket of speech in the Arabic language in the English we could translate it as what on earth do you think you’re saying on one that’s what we would say right mahalia cookbook NASA a laminar helium-3 Mary Allah Asahi demands in a team do you really think there is any other reason that.
The person would be cast on his nose and dragged in Hellfire except because of the tongue Rahman that means the tongue is everything be responsible do you know what type of power your words have when you are a father and you say a word your son is watching your daughter’s watching your spouse everyone else is watching when they look up to you .
They learn from you you use a word on your wife they use it on their mother may Allah forgive us you use a word on the gardener or the maid or the one working for you or loggy that bad word that you used will go not only up to your death but you get a sin for all those.
Who learned it from you your children and the others going on after your death your sins are still clucking clucking clucking why because those bad words you used to say now there are others you left behind on earth who are saying the same words.
I want to tell you something recently there was a story a true story in the news where we read of a girl complaining to her friends and others about how bad her mother is you know how bad the mother is and how terrible her mother is one of the friends was affected out of love for that girl and out of perhaps you know the need or the want to solve the problem this person went on to the site went to the bedroom and killed the mother and came back and said you know what .
you’re not gonna have a problem again right don’t worry no more your mother’s gone imagine a word just because you said the bad thing about someone those who look up to you those who love you those who care for you they translated it as something that should be considered beyond just a word and they took it into actions this is why politicians religious people people of influence all sorts of people are always called upon to watch what .
they say they might just say a simple word but their followers will translate it into violence into killing into civil war into so many other things we need to be careful my brother’s my sisters these are words we are responsible for them when you dislike someone dislike them in moderation use respectful words to express disagreement as the world grows meaning as the world progresses it grows in technology your words that you say and post online will be seen by so many others we have differences in religion with .
so many people no need to call them shrines and morons and dogs and pigs because those are dirty words that will never result in your entry into paradise you didn’t need those words people curse others openly and they don’t realize these words are poisonous you might say it with a powerful mind saying that you know.
I’m only trying to fix the situation you have created a situation a thousand times worse than the one you were trying to fix take a look at the walls on the globe many of them are connected to a politician making a statement that was dirty derogatory cheap filled with something they didn’t realize for they may have realized was hate but they didn’t know or sometimes they may have known where it would spiral up to it goes out of your control watch out there are people .
who love you people who look up to you when use when you express your difference with someone in a derogatory manner they may take it to the point of punching them why my father doesn’t like the scale let me punch him why did you punch him and yet the difference with the father was very small it was minut watch out how you say things it becomes such that it will go through your generations when you dislike someone my brothers and sisters don’t lose your paradise because of the way you expressed that dislike not at all you can say listen brother.
I disagree with you that is not correct teach your children that when we disagree with people will disagree in moderation we still have to have that element of respect for human life and the integrity the dignity the respect for human the human body as well .
you don’t just go up beating people something them etc all encouraging it directly or indirectly many people are guilty guilty by what guilty by influence what type of influence and negative influence that they’ve had without even knowing people sometimes simply because they kept on spewing hate without realizing where it’s going to reach we witness a lot of issues and problems in every community in every family take it broader in every single country on earth there are problems and issues many of them could be resolved.
if we use the tongue in a respectful way my brother let’s sort this matter out my sister this is not how it should be but rather we start using swear words that are not even in the dictionary imagine not even in the dish may Allah forgive us you know before they used to say this guy is sweating Epson bees now they say he’s sweating X’s and Z’s when I asked what is it they said .
we don’t know neither Allah forgive us my brothers and sisters yeah you said either nobody realizes how powerful that versus until you Hanna lies it at marriage you hear the verse because you are about to take somebody’s daughter you’re about to live with somebody’s son watch how you talk arising o you who believe be conscious of the one who created you in the first place and who provides for you that is a wrapper boon the one who provides sustains nourishes cherishes etc etc be conscious of him at all times.
you are brothers and sisters no matter how different you might think you are today you are brothers and sisters from one mother and one fun no matter how different you might think you are you are brothers and sisters watch how you talk to each other Allah says o you who believe be conscious of your maker and only after that which is upright .
you know what is city straight straight speech that which is not helpful abusive vulgar false deception backbiting slander all that is included in the warning here Allah says Palookaville and sadita but then the verse doesn’t stop there the verse continues to say you sleep alaikum and my lancome why I will not come back lock button you know the Smurfs we hear it so many times am-
I saying if you say only good words from your mouth we will make your deeds acceptable that means if you say bad words your deeds will not be acceptable that’s what it means you say bad words your good deeds will go to the person whom you’ve wronged with your time that’s what it is so we need to be careful my brothers and sisters Allah says when you say straight words when you say upright words you sleep welcome our man that come then your deeds will become acceptable we’ll make you good deed my brothers and sisters .
I call on myself and yourselves watch how you speak be respectful become a better person no matter who you are say nice things stop swearing stop abusing stop the vulgar words don’t oppress people with your tongue when you express difference do it so respectfully you will enter gentlemen to fill those a guarantee from Allah guarantee my yelman lima bean and the a dewormer main effective a he of mangina the problem says whoever can tease me to things i guarantee him general what is the guarantee whoever guarantees me the correct use of their time and their private parts.
I guarantee him general so panel of it sounds nice and easy it’s a lifetime of a challenge so panel of banana may Allah guide us and grant the organs Allah gave you the idea is to be in control discipline self-control that’s what Islam is all about you don’t just use it as you want to you use it as Allah once if you use your private parts in the wrong way you get a sin that’s why if you use it in the right way you get such a great reward it’s considered a charity to be intimate with your spouse may allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala grant us goodness but we don’t realize so allah says welcome our mana come and on top of that why I will feel welcome guru become your sins will be forgiven only by using your tongue correctly so Pandava have you thought of that that means,
if you don’t use your tongue correctly your sins will accumulate they will be gathering increasing because you have not used your tongue correctly so Allah says when you use it right we do for you two things and we give you good news of a third thing the two things Allah does for you when you use your tongue in the most respectful way is that he actually forgives your sins and he makes your good deeds acceptable subhanAllah –
and on top of that you know what he says why my Sunnah further faster thousand now whoever follows Allah and His Messenger has definitely succeeded a great success you want great success the verse starts off by saying what’s your tongue look at how you talk to people you know sometimes we don’t realize and I’m going to repeat this and,
I’m going to end with it because of its importance you’re a father you’re a brother you’re an uncle or you might be at your workplace people look up to you maybe you have a bit of influence somewhere you might be an imam of a musty you might be an orator you might be anybody else people look up to every one of us have people who look up to us based on our level you may be a politician you may be the king or ,
whoever if you speak in the correct way with beautiful respectful words during disagreement you deserve merit you deserve credit because you did not use cheap language to refer to your opponent therefore the problem you have can be resolved and you are earning the pleasure of Allah but when you use hard words people begin to hate based on your words hate is then translated into violence based on your words you didn’t even think that your words one day might be misinterpreted and taken to the point of violence and killing and whatever else that’s why?
I be responsible how you speak give people hope give people courage say good words to people like I said one swear word that lasts a split second not even a second one swear word that came out of your mouth when the voice box actually moved a little bit and your voice came out for naught point something of a second can result in a person whom you were addressing their whole body becomes hot and heated up and they actually become so angry and their whole mood changes.
they can suffer a heart attack based on split second of a bad word that you said about them or their parents or whoever else if that’s the case what mahi Obama by saying a good word a trained word a word of encouragement a world of goodness and hope the opposite will happen you will end up spreading so much of goodness people will love you to greet someone availa .
I will look on a longing in a file to move with the heart up to the Prophet SAW solemn says should I not show you lead you towards something if you were to do it it would increase the love between you that’s not an easy thing one would think but he says after Salama by inacol spread not only the peace between you but start off with the greeting greet someone with a smile acknowledge them look in the eyes and a male come even .
if I differ with you my brother my sister I will respectfully differ I don’t have to be a cheap human being where is the value and the character of a Muslim one in a gala who know King Ravi .
Allah says to mohammed salah salem you are upon a very great level of character and conduct and then allah tells us that you should follow the prophets or the lonnis in them Wow so how’s my character how’s your character my brothers and sisters.
I encourage you from this day on watch how you speak say good words go to to the house go home say loving kind words every word you say will be written for you or against you like I said the Prophet SAW seldom told that to more actively Japan may Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’ala count every one of us goodness and may Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’ala open our doors may Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’ala make us conscious of our times and the way .
we speak to each other trust me the impact that a bad word has later on with other people goes beyond your imagination of who locally rather or sallallaahu wa sallim wa barik ala nabina .
