Being mindful of the importance of speaking well in Islam
The servant of Allah will be held accountable on the Day of Judgment for each of their body parts, including the mouth. What a blessing it is to be able to speak and communicate with others?! However, the believer must use this ability wisely. Currently, people show a great deal of carelessness. Furthermore, individuals speak without considering the impact of the words they utter.
Let us be wary of the value of the words that come out of our mouths. Sometimes, some may utter a word they think is insignificant, yet it elevates them in ranks, and vice versa. A bad word can incur the wrath of Allah and have a detrimental effect on faith. Everyone should adhere to the path of the righteous predecessors. They have shown devotion in practicing the teachings of Islam.
The best of utterable words
People constantly express themselves on various topics, religious or worldly. The best of words corresponds to the declaration of faith. This affirms the Oneness of Allah, rejects polytheism, and acknowledges Muhammad as the prophet and messenger. The two phrases in the shahada also serve to distinguish between the people of paradise and the people of hell. Let us therefore make it a habit to mention Allah to accumulate good deeds.
The word in the Quran
Allah exhorts His servants to speak only good words in many passages of the Quran. He also discourages speaking with bad words. Moreover, the hadiths that highlight this are not lacking. These elements are part of the good behavior that the believer must adopt throughout his life. Considering the importance of good speech in Islam helps improve one's daily behavior.
