For those who indulged themselves in loose , vain, vulgar and absurd talk on yesterdays Sachnews post regarding missing soldiers body.... By Faiz Gul...... Safety lies in Silence One loses sense in talking absurdities and aimlessly. Those who want to impress others in meetings by their talk, they speak so glibly and endlessly that the words come out from their mouth like rainwater. Although they try to convince others that they are very wise, intelligent and farsighted, but sometimes the impression created by their long-winding speeches is quite the contrary, and from their talks people feel that there is no relation between what they want the people to believe about them and what actually they are. When a man wants to contemplate over his position and wants to organize his religious thoughts, he runs away from the atmosphere of noise and uproar and takes shelter in a quiet place. And therefore if Islam recommends silence and considers it a means of civilized training, then it is not at all surprising. The Prophet had, among other things, advised Hazrat Abu Zar in this way: “Adopt silence. This is a way of causing Satan to run away, it is a support to you in the matter of your religion. (Ahmed) Undoubtedly the tongue is a rope in the hands of Satan. He turns it anywhere he likes. When a man is unable to control his affairs, his mouth becomes a passage for all the negative talk which contaminates the heart and covers it with the sheet of negligence. The prophet has said: The faith of a man cannot be straight unless his heart is straight, and his heart cannot be straight unless his tongue becomes straight. (Ahmed) The first stage of this straightness and correctness is that man should wash his hands off all the irrelevant matters and he should not interfere in those things about which he is not answerable. It is the excellence of a mans faith that he gives up meaningless work, (Tirmizi)
