Ethics of talking

By Rara - Friday, July 18, 2014

The prophet (S.A.W.) said in a fair hadith reported by Imam At-Tirmithi, 
“The people whom I hate the most and who are the farthest from me on the Day of Judgment are those who talk uselessly, and those who put down others, and those who shows off when they talk.”
1. Those who talk uselessly
2. Those who put down others
3. Those who shows off when they talk

Let me get straight to the point :

How talking rudely influences others.

Towards the speaker : in my opinion, what we speak indirectly shows and influence how we think. For example, there are two people in the same situation, going through hardship.

1. Constantly complains how hard it is
2. Cheering himself that he will overcome it soon
Yes, the outcome may be the same, or the person 1 might even finish it sooner (because that's how he motivates himself?), but, who's happier? We aren't sure of tomorrow, instead of worsen up your present, why don't we just take it easy, say alhamdulillah and live life happily? We can't change the situation we're in anyway.

Towards people around him : will affect a lot. Isn't it selfish for us to yell around because of our own problem and at the same time ruining others' mood too? Maybe you were angry on that moment, once you talk like that, you forget it instantly. But how about the other person? You're sure that he will recover on his own?

We're living in a society, if you wanna "say whatever the hell I want because this is my own mouth", please dig a hole and live in it. Nobody will volunteer. Learn to remind yourself and recognise the moment you're talking inappropriately.

Last but not least, try to accept when people tell you. Only people who care for you will put aside his feeling and tell you directly. Not expecting an apology or what, just helping you to be a better person. Kekeke
