Once there lived two neighbors Tom & Jack.
One day Jack was angry at Tom for some reason and started to spread rumors that his neighbor, Tom was a thief.
As a result, Tom was arrested.
Days later Tom was proven innocent. After being released he sued Jack for wrongly accusing him.
In the court Jack told the Judge: “They were just words, didn’t harm anyone.”
The judge told Jack: “Write all the things you said about him on a piece of paper. Cut them up and on the way home, throw the pieces of paper out. Tomorrow, come back to hear the sentence.”
Next day, the judge told Jack: “Before I tell you the judgement, you will have to go out and gather all the pieces of paper that you threw out yesterday, otherwise you will be hanged.”
Jack said: “I can’t do that! The wind spread them and I won’t know where to find them.”
The judge then replied: “The same way, simple words may destroy the honor of a man to such an extent that one is not able to fix it. If you can’t speak well of someone, rather don’t say anything.”
Moral: “Let’s all be masters of our mouths, so that we won’t be slaves of our words. “

Hello, SARA,
Is that not a repetition????
I have already commented on it on 22 September 2012???
Or is that some other Zafar Iqbal????
Please evolve a software that will prevent repetitive emails.
Thanks,
Thank you for bringing it to our notice. We will surely check that out.
I delete all emails from my inbox. Sara’s funny jokes are always safe there.
Thanks for sharing
Yes I agree with the moral. That’s what HAZRAT ALI (A.S) has said like this, “words or some info are your slaves untill you didn’t speak them out, then you will become slave of them”
YES , IT IS REALLY VERY IMPORTANT TO SAY THAT WORDS CAN BE CONSTRUCTIVE AND AT THE SAME TIME WORDS CAN BE DESTRUCTIVE ,. SO, UNDER SUCH A SITUATION WHICH IS BASED ON TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS , IT IS ALL THE MOST IMPORTANT TO BE CAUTIOUS IN USING WORDS . YOU KNOW THAT A MAN FALLEN FROM THE HEIGHT OF THE MOUNTAIN CAN BE CURED BUT ONE FALLEN FROM THE EYES OR MIND OF SOME ONE ELSE DUE TO USING HARMFUL,SLASHING WORDS WHICH MAY BE SATISFYING FOR US BUT REALLY PROVE TO BE DANGEROUS TO KNOCK DOWN THE PRESTIGE OF SOME ONE WITHOUR YOUR KNOWING IT OR NOT . SO , BE CAREFUL IN OPENING MOUTH AND USING WORDS FOR OTHERS SUCH WORDS IF SPOKEN BY OTHERS AGAINST YOU , IF YOU HEAR MAY NOT BE HAVING A GOOD FEELING FOR THEM . LIFE IS SHORT SO RESPECT ALL ARROUND YOU TO LEAD A HAPPY LIFE U KNOW.
well said ! are better then absolute nothing of dullish
This judgement is tranlated in the book of hadith where prophet Muhammad (SAW) said, is better said good thing or remen silence.
other people should feel secure/safe from our eyes, hands and tongue, its the basic teaching of Islam.
Fantastic judgement. Our words are like split milk that we can not pack again. So, we should think deeply before we talk.
right
What a great Judgment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
