The Believer Does Not Curse
When the Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, guided the one who was seeking salvation to control his tongue, this was an indication of the grave dangers of the tongue, particularly when one gives it free rein.

Anchors of Relief: Three Phrases
Enveloped in triple darkness—the darkness within the belly of a massive sea creature, the darkness of the turbulent ocean depths, and the darkness of a storm-choked sky—buffeted by fierce winds that whipped the waves into towering mountains and tossed ships precariously, a pure and sincere plea pierced these layers of darkness and ascended..
