			So now, we're not going to lie over the cat. You know there's a beautiful I in the Quran there
numerous is in the Quran that speak about this virtuous practice that can be difficult at times,
especially with our family members. Allah subhanho wa Taala talks about the angels in the chapter of
us, he says lay and film in Olin in Layla de rocky Boone, it that Allah subhanho wa Taala says that
there will not be a statement that is uttered by an individual except that there are angels that are
there ready to write, being quiet and silent in speaking only when necessary. You know, a Buddha
that one of the companions, he said, learn silence as much as you learn speech. Learn silence as
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:37
			much as you learn speech and be keen on being silent and do not speak about matters that are of no
benefit. It's important that when we speak, we speak in that which is beneficial, especially if it's
to other people, that we say something that is beneficial and not harmful. If you want to say
something that is harmful, that is where we find ourselves not to say it for the greater good for
our souls, and for the individual that may be listening to us. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said in an authentic hadith in Bukhari, he said McKenney middleby lie. Well, your mill
failure cool. Hi Ron, Olia Smith, Ella Hadith. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Whoever
		
00:01:37 --> 00:02:14
			believes in Allah and the Last Day then they should say good, or they should be quiet. They should
be quiet, don't say anything if it is not good, the prophets of Allah and it was in them also said
another anyone debating firaga the agenda Lehman teracle Mira wood oak animal health bar, Al Hadith.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam also said in authentic hadith, he said that I am the
representative for someone on the outskirts of Jenna basically, to live jinn to live in Jenna I will
represent them. If it for the one that leaves off arguing, even if they are correct or believe that
they are in the right.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:59
			That is not easy at times, especially when you feel that you are right. And you want to articulate
your point to either be victorious or either to get your point across to be hurt, the one that
leaves it for a sake for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala their promise is genuine. So being
quiet in times of hardship in times when you want to speak, that is what is praiseworthy, you are
purposely quiet, you are quiet on purpose. And this is a characteristic of a mindful, wise person,
the one that leaves it off for the greater good being silent. And silence is that which is some
Pinilla many times is a treatment for those that may be coming at you on or offline. When you're
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:42
			silent. And you say nothing. They know that you've heard they know that you've understood, but
you're quiet. That is a characteristic of a word tukey a wise person that is looking at something
much greater than just getting their point across molossia Pinewood does that make us of those that
are silent for the right reasons. May Allah subhanho wa Taala make our silence, a means of medicine,
spiritual medicine, for those that have enmity towards us, and they are continuously vocal with that
enmity. velocity, Pinewood dalla make this on the scale of our good deeds when we are silent and
fighting ourselves not to rebuke the individuals that may be speaking bad to us as salaam alaikum
