Where the truth resides

In the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Especially Merciful

What is there to say when all words are spoken

Opinions are voiced such that bonds are broken

Perhaps we have reached a time when few are wise

Sadly this may indeed be why people do not realise

That in relating issues we need to be more circumspect

For with that we do the dignity of others protect

But for sure this is exactly what some are against

When it is the blood of a person that is sensed

Evil indeed are people with hearts impure

Rejoicing at the pain a brother may endure

The tongue is actively broadcasting the message

Of truthful content there is merely a vestige

In silence there may yet be more benefit

Than the talk emanating from a poisonous pit

How much better if we do make the heart pure

Then with that our words may indeed be a cure

So moisten rather your tongue with remembrance of your Lord

Evil indeed is the one whose tongue puts others to the sword

Let us all speak the truth and let all animosity cease

Embrace one another with a sincere greeting of peace
