Relationship Between the Tongue and the Heart – Imam Yama Niazi

You could lose all the rewards of your charity if you boast about it or cause people harm. Imam Yama Niazi reminds us of the words of Allah Most High, "O believers! Do not waste your charity with reminders ˹of your generosity˺ or hurtful words." (Quran, 2:264)
Another type of prohibited speech is praising others excessively. Imam Yama explains the situations in which praising someone is recommended and those in which it is harmful. He also shares the supplication to ask when someone praises you.

Reminding Others of Your Charity & Praising Others – Imam Yama Niazi

Are you sinful if you refuse to drink alcohol yourself but encourage someone else to drink? Imam Yama Niazi clarifies that encouraging someone to do something forbidden is like doing the same thing yourself. Allah has forbidden us to assist in sin. Imam Yama instructs us to express our displeasure with the prohibited actions. At the same time, he also cautions us not to condemn an action on which there is a difference of opinion. Tune in to learn how you can avoid assisting in sin.
