Most people think their actions are limited to prayer, charity, and worship.
But the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ warned that a single word can throw a person into the Hellfire.

In this powerful reminder, we explore the hadith where Muʿādh ibn Jabal (رضي الله عنه) asked the Prophet ﷺ for an action that leads to Jannah and protects from Hellfire — and was shocked by the answer.

The Prophet ﷺ explained that the tongue is the foundation of all deeds:
A careless word
A joke
A moment of anger
Speaking without knowledge
…can have eternal consequences.

You’ll learn:
How speech is counted as deeds in Islam
Why the Companions feared their own words
The hadith that proves silence can lead to salvation
How controlling the tongue can guarantee Jannah

This lesson is based on the classical Mauritanian poem Maharim al-Lisan, which outlines the prohibitions of the tongue — many of which are normalised today.
