The Meaning of the Sound Word
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
In His saying, Glorified and Exalted is He: [Al-Ahzab:70] So what is the meaning of "the sound word"? Is it the call to Allah, or the remembrance of Allah?
Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Ahzab:70] The sound word is the correct word, whether it is the call to Allah, teaching knowledge, enjoining good and forbidding evil, or something else. The important thing is that the sound word is what is correct and fulfills a need. Thus, the remembrance of Allah is a sound word, enjoining good is a sound word, forbidding evil is a sound word, teaching knowledge is a sound word, and conversing with brothers to relax and remove their discomfort and bring them joy is a sound word.
O you who have believed, fear Allah and speak words of appropriate justice.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَقُولُوا قَوْلاً سَدِيداًAllah the Exalted said:
