[Abu Hafsat]

Peace to one and all,
As you know, the mouth is an opening for sustenance, breathing and speaking. In the Hadith, we find teachings of the Holy Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, to the effect that controlling the opening of the mouth [speech] is of the highest concern and can earn tremendous reward or eternal doom.

The food we eat is filled with energy, radio waves and electromagnetic radiation. Whatever is in the atmosphere and emitting from creation is absorbed in the food we eat and air we breath. This energy collects in the mouth and will try to be absorbed by the teeth and then sent into the body.... from where it goes to the heart and into the blood, and then to the stomach area. If this energy is bad or of negative energy, then physical and/or spiritual sickness occur.

We should, therefore, safeguard our mouth by:--

(a) Eating only lawful food [Halal].

(b) Abstain from forbidden foods and beverages [Haram].

(c) Speaking good words [Truthfulness].

(d) Reduce anger, and

(e) Keeping our tongue moist in Zikrullah always.
