Assalamualaikum....
How about trying to figure out this simple question?
Which part of our body is the least people care about but at the same time can bring danger to ourselves?
Our tongue.
Yes, our tongue inside our mouth. Hidden, secure, and is rarely touched unless there's something I find bothering in my mouth.
Here are some facts about this small yet the strongest body part :
Tongue is a structured muscles.
It has three primary roles : to speak, swallow, taste.
It is considered that a tongue swallows approximately 2500 times a day.
There are more than 10.000 taste buds on our tongue which renew themselves for 100.000 per second.
The taste sense works together with the smelling sense and they can recognize up to 4.000 distinct odors.
Subhanallah, praise Allah the Omnipotent as the only One who can create it.
Luqman al-Hakim after slaughtering a goat was once asked about which body parts are the best and the worst from its body?
He mentioned the heart and the tongue.
"Heart and tongue are good when they are good; They are bad when they are bad."
Prophet Muhammad once referred the tongue as the main factor that can bring human race disaster.
There are so many illnesses of the tongue :
- speaking about useless things
- talking about/gossiping about others
- lying
- praising without basis and / criticizing others
- fighting, etc.
- making promises we don't fulfill
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (pbuh) was asked about the deed which will be foremost to lead a man to Jannah.
He replied, "Fear of Allah and the good conduct."Then he was asked about indulgence which will admit a man to Hell (Fire) and he answered,
"The tongue and the genitals." [At- Tirmidhi].
Naudzubillah, astaghfirullah.
Hopefully, Allah will always guide our tongue so as to always speak good words. Amin.
