Controlling the Tongue
The tongue, which is the medium of unity, should be employed in the path to unity. Its best application is in spreading kindness, affection, and humanity as well as pleasant and comforting words. This notion is the manner of humanity and unity. Whenever someone fails to exercise his tongue in the path of truth, affection, humanity, and friendship, he should hold his tongue and remain silent and listen. This way, he will be immune from the disease of the tongue and adhere instead to goodness and integrity. Of course, remaining silent is not always viable because the tongue that God almighty had granted is for a certain aim, and should be used for its intended function. Silence is only temporary until the time comes when the person has practiced for the good of humanity.
