𝟭. 𝗦𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿
Believers that speak a lot can harbor all sorts of illnesses like ego, grudge or hate in their hearts. However, silence allows inner reflection that only leads to a clean and calmer heart purified of any disease.
The Prophet PBUH said, “Don’t talk much unless for zikr of Allah (remembrance of God) , because much-talking leads to indomitable heart and the furthest human from Allah is the one with indomitable heart, those who unwilling to receive guidance.” [Tirmidi]
𝟮. 𝗦𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗱
Good deeds are a ticket to Jannah (paradise). Allah and His Messenger have defined minor and major good deeds for us to follow. Silence is one of the small good deeds that we can perform to increase our weight of goodness on the Day of Judgement - especially when it comes to staying silent after someone angers or insults us.
Ali ibn Abi Thalib said, “No good in silence when it comes to knowledge, just as there is no good in speaking when it comes to ignorance.”
𝟯. 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝘂𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗱𝗼𝗺
“The wiser a man is, the less he will speak.”
Silence helps us gain wisdom, as it allows us to understand situations from different perspectives & gives us time to think about and improve our speech.
Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq once said “One who knows the value of his speech will also know the value of silence. In fact, if one adopts silence, he will value his speech and therefore guard it like he guards his wealth.”
𝟰. 𝗔𝗻 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗱𝗵𝗶𝗸𝗿
When we are silent and avoid involving ourselves in every conversation, we have more time to make dhikr and think about Allah. Being able to stay quiet sometimes is really a mercy from Him
𝟱. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝘀
Backbiting, arguing, gossiping etc are all rooted in excessive talking. These are grave sins that are like water drops, once accumulating over time can become as big as the sea. Allah SWT and the Prophet PBUH advised us to stay silent as it will protect from these sins that can land us in Hellfire.
𝟲. 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁
Since people talk only to reply back in a heated argument and as it is said that time and words cannot be taken back. So choosing silence while the other person is angry, helps to calm the situation down and gives time to truly understand other party’s perspective. The Prophet PBUH said, “Speak a good word or remain silent.“
