SHAFAQNA – It is narrated from Imam Reza (AS) who said: One of the bases of wisdom is silence [1]. One of the main bases of wisdom is to know when to speak, when to stay silent and speak less. Many of us need to learn the lesson of silence, how to speak, when to speak and for how long. When one decides to speak, should speak well and use suitable words because all of these (words) will be registered as described in Ayahs 10 and 11 of Surah Al-Infetar: “Verily over you are appointed angels to protect you; kind and honourable; writing down (your deeds and sayings).” The angels write down as you are dictating; therefore, be careful that you dictate well.
