Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah. As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu Poisonous Tongues! Imaam Ibnul-Qayyim, rahimahullaah, said:- It is quite amazing how it can be easy upon a person to be cautious and wary with regards to [different impermissible acts such as] ~eating from unlawful means, oppression, adultery and fornication, stealing, drinking intoxicants, looking at prohibited things and the likes, and yet {?} quite difficult for him to be careful about the movement of his Tongue{!!!} So bad that you find a person towards whom the people point to concerning his practice of the Religion, his asceticism, and worship, and despite this he says statements that anger Allaah greatly and he shows no concern about this, yet this statement will take him [to a Fire] that is farther than distance between east and west. {Source:-(1) Al-Bukhaaree (no. 6477) and Muslim (no. 2988) } How many people do you see from amongst those who have enough piety to abstain from lewd, indecent acts, oppression and wrong doing~ But ....... { !!! } their Tongues rip apart the Honor of both the dead and the living and they show not a care in the least!

Transcribed from: The Appendix of "An Explanation of the Hadeeth: "Say, 'I believe in Allah', and then be upright and steadfast." | Ibn Rajab Footnotes:- (1) Al-Bukhaaree (no. 6477) and Muslim (no. 2988) on the authority of Aboo Hurayrah.
~'SALAAMS' TO YOU ALL ~ Y a s m i n. "All that is on earth will Perish. But will abide {Forever} the Face of thy Lord, full of Majesty, Bounty and Honour" {'Quran'- Surah Al-Rahman-55.26-27 } 'Wasting time is Worse than Death! Because Death Separates you from this World Whereas wasting Time Separates you from Allah'. Ibn Qayimm Al-Jawziyyah. I Want to Die With my Forehead on the Ground! The Sunnah in my Heart, Allah on my Mind, Qur'an on my Tongue, and Tears in my Eyes! 'Insha Allah'! ' Son of Adam! You are nothing but a number of days, whenever each day passes then part of you has Gone. {Al-Hasan Al-Basree}
