Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O honorable scholar.The Shaykh : The saying of His Lord, the Exalted and Glorious, what is the just word? Is it calling to Allah, or is it not the remembrance of Allah? I hope for an explanation of this verse.

The Shaykh : Allah the Exalted said:
O you who have believed, fear Allah and speak words of appropriate justice. يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَقُولُوا قَوْلاً سَدِيداً
[Al-Ahzab 33:70]
The just word is the correct word, whether it is calling to Allah, or teaching knowledge, or enjoining good and forbidding evil, or anything else. The important thing is that the just word is what is correct and fulfills the need. Thus, the remembrance of Allah is a just word, enjoining good is a just word, forbidding evil is a just word, teaching knowledge is a just word, and conversing with the brothers to relax and remove their discomfort and bring them joy is a just word.
