said at the end of the Hadith
the meaning of the Hadith the tongue is
the main reason why people go to the
Hellfire the tongue is the main reason
why people go to the
Hellfire now today I want to
mention four things we mentioned them in
in our class the other day and I will
repeat them there's
GBA Believe It or Not people think that
GBA is the worst but in this series here
in the in the order it is the lowest

bhan
Reba bhan
namima

bad bad let me Define them one by one is
backbiting what is backbiting Allah to
say something about your brother or
sister in their absence that they do not
like
and it's true it's true that's a very
important statement bhan same thing but
it's not true you made it up
slander you made it up it's not even
exist you fabricated it then comes
namima
namima wasam was passing by a grave one
time and he said those two people are
being punished with something they
thought it was simple but it's huge what
is it I said one of them he did not
clean himself after urinating and the
second he used to go with namima in his
community what does namima I go to gulam
I say gulam do you know what M said
about
you gulam do you know what M said about
you so I go to one person and I tell
them do you know what the other person
said about you this is called namima
gossip this is very bad horrible now
before I go to the if if someone comes
to you and
says zah do you know what M said about
you it looks like m is going
around do you know what mon said about
you what do you
say number one you ask the person who
came and said that is it
good mon is going to say say no it's
bad you ask is it true I'm not

person more you're going to hate
him so you're telling me something that

it this is how you stop these people but
what happens most of us the stuff is
Juicy who's going to come to you and say
do you know what this about you w this
is where your IM shows when you say no I
don't want to hear it you kill him you
know what one of the Sala
said he said thean did not find anyone
other than you as a messenger because
this is a messenger of the shaitan he's
coming to ruin a relationship of two
people so when you say I don't want to
hear it you killed the
Shan and you
help the brother to stop this
namima and there's a big very wellknown
formula
is exactly whomsoever comes and tells
you what others said about you he's
going to go to others and tell them what
you said about them this is very well
known so don't think that this guy is he
wants your well-being and Welfare and no

huge this is very big we take them light
especially with the spread of social
media we take these things light this is
very
heavy you think it's easy but in in the
sight of Allah it's huge it's a huge
so control this tongue wasam said told
us that
our Iman will not become straight and
good until our heart is good and the
heart will not become good until the
tongue is good until the tongue is good
