Give your best in the best 10 days. Donate to Yaqeen this Dhul Hijjah: yqn.io/y3qu This episode of The Book of Heart Softeners confronts one of the most dangerous sins of the tongue: speaking about people after they’ve passed away. From gossip and public criticism to the temptation of always having an opinion, this conversation explores the Islamic ethics of silence, sincerity, and accountability before Allah. When does speaking out become necessary—and when is silence safer for your soul? Through prophetic guidance and timeless reminders, this episode calls us to examine not just what we say, but why we say it. Join Sh. Omar Suleiman and Sh. Ali Hammuda as they reflect on guarding the tongue, honoring people’s dignity, and preparing for the day our own tongues testify for or against us before God.
