Speaking in soft positive manner would not cost you anything but would enchant those you speak to and get rid of any ill feelings:

 There was once a king who saw in a dream that all his teeth had fallen out. He called a dream-interpreter, told him what he saw in the dream, and asked him to interpret it. When the interpreter heard the dream, his complexion changed and he began to repeat, “Allāh’s refuge is sought! Allāh’s refuge is sought!” The king became worried and asked, “What is the interpretation of my dream?” The interpreter said, “After many years pass, your wife and children will die and you will be all alone in your kingdom!” The king screamed, became furious, and began to hurl abuses and insults. He then ordered that the interpreter be imprisoned and called another interpreter, related to him what he saw in the dream and asked him for its interpretation. The dream-interpreter smiled and said, “Glad tidings, dear king!” The king said, “What is the interpretation of the dream?” The interpreter said, “It means that you will live for very long – so long that you will be the last of your family to die, and you will remain a king your entire life.” The king became very pleased, showered him with gifts and remained content with him whilst angry with the first dream-interpreter.


If you contemplate, you will realise that both of the interpretations were the same, the difference was in the way in which the interpretation was conveyed. Hence, the tongue is the master.


A person may utter a callous word that displeases Allāh for which He will be angry with him until the day He meets him. This is why the Prophet ﷺ warned people regarding not controlling the tongue as it may lead to one’s own destruction.


The Prophet ﷺ said, “When the son of Ādam wakes up in the morning, all of his body parts humble themselves in front of the tongue and say, ‘Fear Allāh for our sake! Our wellbeing depends on you. If you remain upright, so shall we. If you become crooked so shall we.'”

(Aḥmad, Tirmidhī)


Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله said, “It is amazing how many people are strong enough to abstain from consuming unlawful wealth, fornication and theft and yet you are unable to abstain from moving their tongues. You will see such people speaking ill of others and unable to prevent themselves from doing so.”


Use the various modes of speech that would move people’s emotions. Speak to your mother in a soft tone and by using the most beautiful words, and the same goes to your father, husband/wife, children and colleagues. Speaking in this manner would not cost you anything but would enchant those you speak to and get rid of any ill feelings they may have for you.


Animals have long tongues, yet they cannot speak, Man has a relatively short tongue, yet he cannot keep silent.


[Enjoy your life, Dr. Muḥammad ʿAbdur-Raḥmān Al-ʿArīfī]

Being accessible, lenient, tender, and easy to get along with

 - Ibn Mas‘ūd (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Shall I not inform of whom Hellfire is forbidden for? Or he is forbidden for Hellfire? It is forbidden for someone who is accessible, lenient, tender, and easy to get along with."     [Authentic hadith] - [Narrated by At-Termedhy - Narrated by Ahmad] الشرح Shall I not inform you of whom Hellfire is forbidden to burn? It is forbidden for he who is accessible to people, who sits with them in the places of worship, and treat them kindly to the best of his ability; and he who is forbearing, lenient, and tolerant in dealing with them.

How does Allah Ta’ala increase when He accepts the sadaqah!:

- It is a story from 1282 Hijri, that is, 160 years ago. There was a noble and righteous woman named Munira in the city of Buraidah, Saudi Arabia. She intended to bequeath her jewellery to her brother before she died and instructed him to buy a shop from that money. Whatever income would come from this shop would be spent to fulfill the needs of masakeen.  After her death, her brother sold the jewellery and bought a shop in the name of his sister, which was worth twelve riyals according to the currency of the period. He rented the shop and the rent money was used to attend to the needs of masakeen. This continued for nearly 100 years. After 100 years, the monthly rent of the shop had reached 15,000 riyals and through this money more things were provided for the needy. Then came the day when the Saudi government decided to expand the Mosque of Buraidah and decided to acquire land and shops within the vicinity of the expansion site. The shop of the deceased woman was within the bound...

 - Quran Juz 15  – Sub’hanalladhiz Summary Join Us:  https://chat.whatsapp.com/EwGX2NFn95O2Bo92HkyyiI •        Surah Isra/Bani Israel: This chapter talks about the night journey of Prophet Muhammed ﷺ toward the Heavens (Isra & Meraj), an honor that no one else other than our beloved Prophet Muhammed ﷺ received. Isra was the beloved’s ﷺ journey from Makkah to Jerusalem, and Meraj was that from Jerusalem to the Heavens. •        This chapter also mentions in detail many incidents of Bani Israel. •        Allah’s wisdom behind taking Prophet Muhammed ﷺ to Jerusalem was to grant him and his followers the custodianship of Masjid al-Aqsa, just like that of Masjid al-Haraam in Makkah.  •        Though this chapter is themed at Tawheed, morals, affirmation of the Doomsday, but it also focuses on messengership, and particularly in that of Prophet Muhammed’s ﷺ. •        The ...

Quran Juz 7 – Wa Iza Sami’u - Summary:

 - Quran Juz 7 – Wa Iza Sami’u Summary Join Us: https://chat.whatsapp.com/EwGX2NFn95O2Bo92HkyyiI • Allah talks about those Christians who cannot control their tears when they listen to the Qur’anic recitation. This was especially in context to Najashi Ash’amah, the Christian King of Habsha who had accepted Islam. • From Verses 87 of Surah Maidah the topics like Halal & Haram and extremism are discussed. • Islam is a religion of balance. It neither calls for abstention of permissible items (for drinking, eating, wearing etc.) as piety, nor does it abolish the distinction between Halal & Haram. • Verse 89 talks about oaths (qasm/aqd). The penalty of breaking the oath is to either feed 10 poor and needy, twice, with an average food of his/her usual intake (cost wise), or to clothe them, or to free a slave. If someone cannot do it, he/she should fast on three days. Allah also advices to be true on oaths to be safe from getting penalized. • If a person takes an oath of...

Allaah did not call him Khaleel after a single moment. The friendship ripened through repeated surrender, across fire and desert and stone:

 - Allaah did not call him Khaleel after a single moment. The friendship ripened through repeated surrender, across fire and desert and stone. - Taqwa, when it matures in the crucible of trial, is the precise and correct ordering of the loves within a heart. It is the absolute knowledge of which love sits upon the throne, and which loves, however deep, however true, however entirely lawful, must bow beneath it.  - Tawakkul is the heart’s genuine reliance upon Allaah as the sole ultimate cause of all things, combined with the employment of every legitimate means. Islam teaches freedom from servitude to causes without teaching contempt for them. It is the settled condition of a heart that has understood that creation possesses only delegated force. What burns burns because it is permitted to burn; what heals heals because it is permitted to heal. No thing in creation holds or withholds what belongs solely to the Creator. - Hasbunallaahu wa ni’mal Wakeel. Allaah is sufficient for...

Treasure of happiness and success:

An old woman used to stand in front of the Masjid🕌 everyday begging for money. One day, the Imam of the Masjid🕌 asked her, "Why are you standing here and you are from a good family and your son is a good man?" The old woman replied, "As you know, I have only one son, and my husband died years ago. My son travelled eight months ago and left me some money💰 to spend on my needs, but by now I have spent it all and must resort to begging." The Imam said, "Your son.. doesn't he send you money💰?" The old woman replied, "Every month📆 he sends me a coloured picture which I kiss and stick on the wall for remembrance." The Imam decided to visit her house 🏠. He got a big surprise when he saw 8 cheques on the wall, each for a thousand 💵 dollars, and realized the old woman didn't know what wealth she had because she was illiterate. This may seem like a really stra...
