High Status of Ulema in Islam
|
Silence is Golden
Arresting Speech
The thing which is most deserving of imprisonment is the tongue.
[Statement of ‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ood radhi’allaahu ‘anhu]
Speech is one of the most clear indications of what a person thinks or feels, it is an
account from the person himself. This statement of ‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ood radhi’allaahu
‘anhu reflects the fact that Islam focuses on building the character of an individual as
part of the religion itself. One of the qualities which paints an individual as reckless
and mindless is too much talking. Not only does it display a person’s lack of wisdom and
intelligence (when it is needless), but also can lead to many problems due to a lack of
caution. On the other hand, a wise person will be a person of few words which are carefully
chosen and reflected upon. Furthermore when a reserved person speaks, his/her speech is
given more import due to the fact that the person does not saturate the conversation with a
lot of throw-away ideas and rambles. Another proverb is the saying back home: “An empty
vessel sounds much.”
The Tongue is Tied to the Heart
The faith of a slave is not correct until his heart is correct and his heart is not correct
until his tongue is correct…
[Ahmad]
Thus Islam teaches us that the heart is indeed tied to our actions, specifically speech. It
is not enough to believe in the heart and claim a high level of faith - it must shape a
person’s character as well. This is why the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam even
enjoined on us, while appealing to belief in Allah the Almighty:
Let the one who believes in Allah and the Hereafter utter good words, or let him be silent.
[Bukhari, Muslim]
He sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam further said:
Part of the goodness of one’s Islam is his leaving that which does not concern him.
[Tirmidhi]
So not only is a wise person sparing in his/her speech, but is also selective about when it
is necessary to engage his/her mind and efforts. Things which are futile or harmful should
be avoided so as not to use precious energy nor pollute one’s soul with useless clutter.
The ahadith go on to state that this key characteristic caution in one’s speech, or the
lack of it- is one of the sole qualities which can make an individual one of the best or one
of the worst people.
The most disliked of men to Allah are those who are extreme in disputes (which reach the
level of enmity).
[Bukhari]
The most beloved of you to me in the Hereafter are the best of you in character. The most
disliked of you to me and the farthest from me in the Hereafter are the worst of you in
character: those who talk too much repeating themselves needlessly, and opening their mouths
wide when talking, and those who joke and mock others even twisting their mouths in mockery.
[Ahmad]
So one should avoid delving in matters of no benefit, arguing needlessly to the point of
hatred, talking too much and too fast, in a rude and uncouth manner. These exaggerated
styles of speech paint a person as loud, annoying, and undignified.
In a lengthy hadith of the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, he was mentioning to
Mu’adh radhi’allahu ‘anhu how to do all the best deeds and remain steadfast in the Deen
and asked:
“Should I not inform you of the head of all of this and its support and its pinnacle?”I
said, “Of course yes, O Messenger of Allah.” He sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said,“The
head of it is submission, its pillar is prayer and its pinnacle is fighting in the path of
Allah.” Then he said, “Should I not inform you of what enables and makes firm all of that?”
I said, “Of course yes, O Messenger of Allah.” So, he took hold of his tongue and said,
“Keep control of this.” I said, “O Messenger of Allah, are we to be taken to account for
what we say?” He sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said, “May your mother be bereaved of you
O Mu’adh! What throws the people into the fire on their faces other than the fruits of their
tongues?”
[Tirmidhi]
Therefore if a person aims to go far in their worship of Allah and refinement of character,
they should begin by taming the tongue.
A Slippery Slope
Again, as mentioned above, speaking less, while a virtue in and of itself, is also
beneficial due to the fact that it reduces the possibility of a person uttering that which
is wrong. The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam reminds us of this in the following
ahadith:
Verily, a slave will speak a word which casts him in the fire farther than what is between the east and the west.
[Bukhari]
A person may utter a word he thinks harmless, which results in his falling the depth of seventy (70) years into Hellfire.
[Tirmidhi]
The Prophet’s Guarantee
The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam reminds us that if we do not speak we can not
engage in incorrect speech and if we lessen our speech we are less likely to fall into evil
speech.
You shall be saved as long as you are silent, for if you speak, it will either be in your
favor or stand against you.
[Bayhaqi]
The one who adheres to the lengthy silence (except from that which is good) will be saved on
the Day of Judgment.
[Tirmidhi]
And finally he sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam mentions that if someone can guarantee the
control of his sexual desire and the control of his tongue, he is guaranteed Paradise.
Whoever can guarantee me what is between his jaws and what is between his legs, I can
guarantee him Paradise.
[Bukhari]

Allah ke Bande Hasde(Smile, O Servants Of Allah)
How
do you feel when darkness surrounds your life? Abyssal darkness? Pitfull
darkness that traps you in its unfathomable maze? You can scream all day long
but no one to hear you? Not a single ray of light to arrive your soul? Not a
single hand to reach out to you? And then you feel fear, cold fear; fear
that you never knew existed. You feel afraid and helpless. You cry out in the
dark, you scream out in pain and nobody to listen to your dying heart…. You
feel insurmountable pain, you feel cannot hold on much longer.
A big wonder it is what illusions can do to you, how much power it can have over you, and how much unnecessary pain it can cause to you. Fear engulfs us all but it is an illusion, a false illusion. Fear is the demon that hisses in your ear when it sees it dark around you. But once you turn on the light fear escapes like a sneaking thief. Fear, the devil’s genius weapon to fool you.

Let
us have a look at what the great book say about fear -
It is the devil's system to instill fear into
his subjects. Do not fear them and fear Me instead, if you are believers.
(Quran)
Indeed. Fear your Allah alone. Fear only your Lord and nobody else, nothing else. Only when you can fear Allah alone you can conquer the devil’s delusional traps. Because with fear in your Lord, trust in your Lord arises. When you learn to trust, all other fear evaporates. You do not even fear your own sorrows, because you believe, Allah will help you, somehow someway. You do not fear misfortunes, because you know,Allah’s help is soon to arrive. You do not fear failures because you believe your Lord will pull you out of your shortcomings, He is Merciful, He will help you someway. Allah is the one who extends horizons. He will extend your horizon also when your moment comes. You do not even fear tragedies, because you lovingly put trust in your Lord, in your Allah, that no matter what happens in your life He must have a good reason for you to cause you sufferings. You live with deep loving trust in your Lord. For the first time in life you experience peace. With faith in your Lord all other fears disappear. There is nothing else to fear in your life, you start to live. Your trust in your Lord is like a divine candle, which glows in your your heart spreading around a divine aura.
There is a beautiful Sufi song written by a Sufi mystic, whose name, unfortunately, I have not been able to find out. By this song the songwriter, or rather the poet relates the story of a bird. One day the wings of the bird were broken and the bird fell hard on the ground. The bird was so badly injured that it could not be healed anymore but instead of crying at his misfortune the bird kept on laughing, and saying the divine lines,
“Allah ke bande hasde, …..jo bhi hokal phir ayega…..”
“The people of Allah will always be laughing…there will always be another day…”
One who trusts in Allah will always stay happy, no matter what comes in life, no matter what happens. Allah is Most-Forgiving, He will forgive, and there will always be another day, a new day, a new sunrise, a new chance. So the people of Allah, the servants of Allah should always stay happy because their Lord will always help them out.
The full song is as follows _
The little bird lived .....far...far...above in a land of dreams........
Once it happened....probably while flying over our earth.......
that the tender heart of the creature got hurt......
So badly that it couldn't ever be healed...
The soft and serene wings turned heavy...
It couldn't be lifted any more...
And our bird kept on falling from the height.....
Eventually got soiled by the dust beneath.....
Still in its dreams were its old abode.......the transparent cloud.......
Though shattered, it didn't let hope evade and the lips chanted without halt....
Allah Ke Bande Hasde Jo Bhi Ho Kal Phir Aayega
The people of Allah will always be laughing... whatever happens, there will always be another day
Seeing the undying spirit of the little bird....
The ever watchful venerable saint stood out of respect and murmured.....
"The loss of wings is temporary..this bird is going to fly far above imagination"
Enlightened by the incident, he proclaimed to humanity.....
"Don't be faint hearted if struck by difficulties....
Take along the sorrows with you without hesitation.....
It would be useful beyond words.........
Though it has scattered your dreams to pieces....
In that pieces you will find a hidden treasure gifted by your loving lord"
Sometimes we do have to lose our wings to learn to fly. Perhaps in losing our wings, when we walk on the ground we discover something that we would otherwise not have realized while we were up there in the sky. As a great saying goes, “Happiness has height and pain has depth”, may be sometimes we have to fall to learn about depth. Just knowing the height is never enough. Life will remain meaningless if we cannot explore the depth. In the depth of life secrets are hidden that one needs to uncover. We have to dive into depth to discover God’s Will. Reaching the depth is not easy. The door to depth is locked with pains and sufferings also. When you open that door, you will also have to taste the pains. Opening that door requires courage. Sometimes the door accidentally opens but we make an escape, anything to escape from the pains. But accepting the sorrows is worth of it because behind it lies the hidden treasures of Life.
“Kho Ke Aapne Par Hi To Usne Tha Ud Naa Sikha
Gham Ko Aapne Saath Mein Lele Dard Bhi Tere Kaam Aayega”
“Take along the sorrows with you without hesitation.....
It would be useful beyond words.........
Though it has scattered your dreams to pieces....
In that pieces you will find a hidden treasure gifted by your loving lord"
In diving into depths of life you learn precious skills, skills that you were never even aware of, skills that are required to reach to the ultimate. The skill is required to show you the key to unlock your life’s treasures. The key of life is of an intricate design, it is crafted with joys and sorrows. Without the either, the key can never be achieved.
“Tukde Tuke Ho Gaya Tha Har Sapna Jab Woh Toota
Bhikre Tukdon Mein Allah Ki Marzi Ka Manzar Paayega”
“Though it has scattered your dreams to pieces....
In that pieces you will find a hidden treasure gifted by your loving lord"
Your Lord has a plan for you. You should never be sad or unhappy. Everything that is happening to your life has a reason,has a purpose, planned by Allah, to lead you to your life’s destiny. Every moment you live by are meaningful, precious. Even if you stumble at times do not be sad, Allah will help you. He is Oft-Forgiving, Benevolent. He will forgive you, shower his blessings on you and you will get another chance, another day.
With a mind in transcendental bliss and a heart full of joy, walk on my friend.....
May God bless you.
