Swearing is a Sin

Children! Let's listen to a blessed Hadees

Swearing is a sin

Muhammad Javed Attari Madani

The Beloved and Final Prophet, Sayyiduna Muhammad صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: ‘سِبَابُ الْمُسْلِمِ فُسُوقٌ’ Swearing at a Muslim is a sin. (Muslim, p. 54, Hadees 221)

Any action that opposes the commands of Allah Almighty is called a sin. (Ihya-ul-‘Uloom, vol. 4, p. 20)

Our beautiful religion prevents us from everything that would upset another Muslim. Among the negative aspects of swearing at a Muslim is that it upsets the one who is sworn at and it makes the one swearing sinful.

Dear children! Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is displeased with the child who swears and says rude things. Swearing can cause fighting, break friendships, and make entire families fallout with each other. People begin to dislike the one who swears and do not consider him a good child.

Good children never swear. Even if somebody upsets them or steals something from them, good children will not swear.

May Allah Almighty protect us from swearing and other sins.

اٰمِیْن بِجَاہِ النَّبِیِّ الْاَمِیْن صَلَّی اللہ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلہٖ وَسَلَّم
