Watch Your Tongue

"There is nothing that deserves to be imprisoned more than tongue"

Abdullah Ibn Masood (RA)

This wise statement by Abdullah Ibn Masood (RA) highlights the importance of controlling one's speech. The tongue, though small, has the power to cause immense harm through gossip, lies, slander, or even harsh words. By saying that "nothing deserves to be imprisoned more than the tongue," he emphasizes the need for self-restraint and mindfulness in what we say, as careless words can lead to significant consequences.

The quote in Roman transliteration:

"Laysa shay’un ahaqqu bi-tūli sujūdin min al-lisān."

This reflects Islamic teachings about the responsibility of speech and the importance of using words wisely.
