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.
