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.

What should we say if something bad happens to us? Imam Yama Niazi teaches the correct words to say when misfortune hits us. We must never express displeasure with the decree of Allah Most High.

Tune in to this podcast to see how it is questioning the wisdom of Allah if we say, “Why did this happen to me?” Imam Yama also explains how revealing secrets is from the prohibitions of the tongue.
