Dangers of Tongue


People say, "Your mouth is your tiger, which will anytime devour you". 
Our prophet Mohammad advocated : "What a moslem utters is men is safe from the dangers of their own tongue and arms".
Imam Ali Radhiallhu’anhu stated: ”An evil heart lies in its mouth and an angelic mouth lies in its heart".
At times, human beings are against odds, which is the logical consequence of living a life on earth. Often times, we have to deal with inconceivably unwanted shocks.

On Failure

This isn't the article I promised but I guess it's worthpublishing as well. I accidentally found this on my facebook favorite quote. I don't even remember I already wrote that. As the quote is also about affecting our spirit or soul, I think publishing it here is not a betrayal towards the blog's major theme.
One great source of failure is found in a lack of concentration of purpose. There will be adverse winds in every voyage, but the able seaman firmly resists their influence, while he takes advantage of every favorable breeze to speed him on his course. So in our aims and pursuits we shall find much to counteract them, much to draw our attention from them, and, unless we are armed with a steadfast purpose, that can subordinate the lesser to the greater, that can repel hindrances, resist attractions, and bend circumstances to our will, our efforts will not be crowned with success.

Assalamualaikum, readers!


It's always nice to greet people for the first time. And speaking of 'first', this is what I'm about to tell you.
I got inspired to write this blog after reading Umar Sahid's messages in my Facebook inbox every other day or so. I plan to fill this blog with his spiritually inspiring articles, which he'd sent me since a few months ago. While I was writing this very post, I was also waiting for his approval. This is for the sake of courtesy.
