Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim.

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barkatuhu.

Dear friends,

I hope you are all well with the infinite mercy of Allah Almighty. I am also well and healthy to accept your prayers and the infinite mercy of Allah Almighty.

Undoubtedly, this is a very important and profound matter. This principle of "not talking too much, always talking less" carries a multifaceted significance in human life. It is not only part of personal character building, but is also indispensable for social relationships, mental peace, and spiritual development.

The importance and significance of talking less: the power of silence

"Talking less" does not just mean being silent, but rather speaking thoughtfully, moderately, and purposefully. Wise people believe that our tongue or mouth is like a sharp knife—which can do good as well as cause many dangers. Therefore, it is essential to keep it in check. Why this habit is important is discussed in detail below:

1. Relationship strength and attention grabbing

People who are quiet are naturally good listeners. This is an invaluable quality in social relationships.

Good listener: When you talk less, you listen attentively to others. This builds people's respect and trust in you.

The value of important words: The one who always talks a lot, his words are less important. On the other hand, the one who talks less, every word he says is considered valuable and significant. People then listen attentively to him.

2. Avoiding dangers and mistakes

The possibility of making mistakes increases if you talk a lot. At an inattentive moment, words can come out of your mouth, which can later cause regret or disputes.

Less stumbling: If you speak thoughtfully, you make fewer mistakes. The Hadith also contains instructions in this regard - whoever believes in Allah and the Hereafter, let him speak good words or remain silent.

Avoiding arguments and hostility: As the saying goes, "A dumb person has no enemy." Talking less reduces the risk of getting into unnecessary arguments or quarrels. There is also less chance of others forming a wrong impression of you.

3. Self-control and saving mental energy

Talking less is a symbol of self-control. It helps in establishing control over the mind.

Save energy and time: We spend a lot of mental and physical energy in talking. Talking less can save that energy and use it in important tasks or thoughts.

Thinking power and self-review: Silence gives rise to self-analysis and deep thought. Talking less gives time to focus on one's inner world, which is essential for mental maturity and self-development. People who talk less prefer to think more than speak, as a result, their decisions are usually well thought out.

4. Maintaining credibility and confidentiality

The habit of talking less increases a person's credibility many times over.

Secrecy: A person who is quiet is usually accustomed to keeping secrets. They do not easily say anything that would ruin their or others' secrets. This quality makes them very trustworthy to others.

Actions are the Identity: People who are quiet are usually more confident in showing their actions than in words. Their success is determined by their actions, not by words.

5. Spiritual and Religious Importance

Since ancient times, 'silence' or speaking less has had special importance in various religions and spiritual practices.

Worship: In Islam, just as speaking good words is worship, refraining from useless talk or keeping silent is also considered an act of worship.

Gaining Salvation: It is mentioned in the hadith, "He who remains silent is saved" (Tirmidhi). The purpose of this is to get rid of evil, lies and useless talk and get rid of the dangers of the hereafter and the hereafter.

"There is no need to talk too much, always talk too little" is not a sign of laziness or arrogance, but rather a sign of knowledge, wisdom and self-control. It is a personal philosophy that protects people from unnecessary complications and leads them to depth. It is wise to practice this habit to make life more peaceful, relationships stronger and your work more productive.
