THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-ithnayn. 26th day of Ramadhan, 1444AH (Monday, 17th April 2023).
LET'S BE MINDFUL ON OUR TONGUE BismilLah.
As we approaches the last few days of Ramadan in which Laylatul qadar may appear if not come and gone, It's very important to note that Ramadhan is not about only avoiding eating, sexual relationship etc but equally and more importantly, protecting our fasting by speaking good words or remaining silence throughout the day bcs a single act of backbiting, slandering etc will automatically damage our fasting from achieving any rewards for it.
Therefore, the servant must be aware! We could lose our rewards for the fasting and prayer from just one gathering. There is no success for us unless we learn how to imprison our tongues from vain talk.
ALLAH has placed this tongue of ours in prison. It does not come out except when there is a need for it. You will find lots of the time our tongues are not engaged in zikir. Rather, we choose to continue with our vain talk, joking, laughing, backbiting, and slandering. Imam Ahmad mentioned in his “Musnad” on the authority of Anas (radi Allahu anhu) who related that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa salaam) said:
“The faith (eeman) of ALLAH’s servant will not be upright until his heart is upright, and his heart will not be upright until his tongue is upright.” [Ahmad-al-Mundhiri (3/234) – al-Iraqi in “Al-Ihya” (8/1539).
JazaakumulLaahu Khairan for supporting some poor and needy Muslims with your Ramadhan Sadaqah. Many are happy in this blessed month because of your support, and they are making dua for you. Imagine that you helped them for their dunya, but they are helping you for your Aakhira ALLAHU AKBAR, so basically, you helped yourself, AlhamdulilLah.
May ALLAH have mercy on us all and protect us from speaking ill of anyone regardless of what such person has done. Aameen.
