The last blog was discussing the importance of good companionship within marriage.
The second aspect related to good companionship is one’s speech. As one’s intention is an inner aspect of good companionship good speech is the outer aspect of good companionship. Both husband and wife should fear Allah, the Exalted, in respect to their speech to one another. A marriage cannot succeed without this quality. The majority of divorces occur because of a lack of control over one’s speech. A person’s uttered words cannot be taken back so it is important for married couples to think before speaking as words can sometimes cause more lasting pain than physical actions. They should act on the all-encompassing and far reaching Hadith of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, found in Sahih Muslim, number 176. It advises that a person should either speak good words or remain silent. Chapter 33 Al Ahzab, verse 70:
“O you who have believed, fear Allah and speak words of appropriate justice.”
Good words benefit a married couple in this world and the next. Whereas, evil words will not only adversely affect their marriage but it will lead to evil in the next world. For example, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, once warned in a Hadith found in Jami At Tirmidhi, number 2314, that it only takes a single evil word to cause a person to plummet into Hell on Judgement Day.
