Words I can STOP using right now

yasser_z · 01-15-2008, 04:07 PM

As salaamu alaikum,

Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Anyone who believes in Allah and the Last Day, should speak good words or be silent." [Agreed upon]

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When the son of Adam starts the day, all his limbs supplicate his tongue, saying, 'Fear Allah in respect of us. We move by you. If you go straight, we go straight. If you go crooked, we go crooked.'" [at-Tirmidhi]

---

One theme I came to understand in my journey of tazkiya is the effect my words had on my attitude (or is it the other way around??)

I also wanted to learn to speak efficiently and cut out idle talk. I wanted to cut out the excesses and exaggerations too. So I came up with a list of words or phrases to eliminate from my vocabulary.

So, what can you stop saying right now?

Here are a few that I had...

"like"
"not only that"
"what?" (to my parents)
"yo"
"siiick"
"like 5 million times"

Or you can just be writing them, without 'saying' them, right? ;]
