One of the biggest blessings of Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala is the *tongue*.
It is also one of the most DANGEROUS.
That's because whatever the tongue utters, affects the heart.
And whatever affects the heart, the rest of the body follows.
For this reason, every morning when we wake up, each part of our body rebukes the tongue, admonishes it and reminds it to fear Allaah and have taqwa of Him.
The Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam said:
“When the son of Adam awakens in the morning, all of his body parts defer to the tongue and they say:
FEAR Allaah concerning us, for we are (dependent) upon you. If you are straight then we are straight, and if you are corrupt then we are corrupt.”
(at-Tirmidhi -hasan by al-Albaani)
The Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam also said:
"A person utters a word THOUGHTLESSLY (i.e., without thinking about its being good or not) and, as a result of this, he will fall down into the fire of Hell deeper than the distance between the east and the west."
(al-Bukhaari and Muslim)
What a SCARY hadeeth!
And what a DANGEROUS body part!
So keep that tongue under checks and bounds.
WATCH what you say.
It could mean the DIFFERENCE between PARADISE and HELL.
And Allaah knows best
