Book Name:Chughli Ka Azaab-o-Chughal Khor Ki Mozammat
Dear Islamic brothers! You have heard that tale-telling is such an evil act that its ill-effect is not only limited to the tale-teller himself but also makes other people face difficulties as well. Therefore, we shall immensely strive to keep our tongue pure from not only tale-telling but every kind of evil. The tongue is apparently a very small piece of flesh but it is a great blessing of Allah Almighty. Perhaps, only a mute person can appreciate its importance. Right usage of the tongue can make a person enter Paradise and ill usage of it can make a person enter Hell. The one who uses his tongue to recite the Holy Quran and Salat and Salam enters Paradise with the mercy of Allah Almighty.
The one who uses his tongue to swear at Muslims, backbite, tell-tales, or blame others becomes deserving of the punishment of Hell. If a non-believer recites ‘لَآ اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللہُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَّسُوْلُ اللہ (صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم)’ wholeheartedly, then he gets purified from the filth of Kufr and Shirk [polytheism]. The utterance of this phrase from his tongue removes the filth of all his previous sins. The utterance of this blessed Kalimah from his tongue makes him pure from sins the way he was pure the day he was born. This great Madani reformation took place through the courtesy of the utterance of the blessed Kalimah from the tongue along with believing in it wholeheartedly. If only! We could also learn the correct usage of our tongue. We abandon having conversations that consist of backbiting, tale-telling and blaming others. Indeed, if we use our tongue according to the Will of Allah Almighty and the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, then we will have a house prepared for us in the Paradise.
If we use our tongue to recite the Holy Quran, do Zikr of Allah Almighty, recite Salat and Salam upon our Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, abundantly convey call to righteousness etc., then اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ our fortune will shine immensely.
Reward of one year’s worship upon every sentence
Sayyiduna Musa عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّـنَا وَ عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام once humbly asked Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, ‘O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! What is the reward for the one asking his brother to do good deeds and preventing him from evils?’ Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ said, ‘I write the reward of one year’s worship for each Kalimah of his and I have Haya (shyness) in giving him the torment of Hell.’ (Mukashafa-tul-Quloob, pp. 48)
