🌿 Hadith on Gentle Speech
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
“Gentleness does not enter into anything except that it beautifies it, and it is not removed from anything except that it makes it defective.”
— Sahih Muslim 2594
✨ Reflection:
Our beloved Prophet ﷺ taught us that gentleness and calmness are not signs of weakness but signs of wisdom and strength. In a world that often rewards harshness, Islam uplifts rahmah (mercy) and rifq (gentleness) as noble qualities. Whether we’re speaking to family, correcting someone, or handling a stressful situation, the Sunnah guides us to choose words and tone that heal, not harm.
✅ Sunnah Action Today:
Speak kindly — especially when you’re tested.
Start by saying something gentle to a family member or colleague today, even in a moment of disagreement. Watch how it changes the mood.
Dua to reflect:
“O Allah, beautify my character with gentleness, just as You beautify the sky with stars.”
