The Messenger of Allah, may God bless him and grant him peace, said:

"أَوْصَانِي رَبِّي بِسَبْعٍ:":

My Lord has commanded me with seven things:

1. To be sincere — both in secret and in public.
2. To forgive those who oppress me.
3. To give to the one who deprives me.
4. To maintain ties with those who sever relations with me.
5. That my speech should be full of remembrance (of God).
6. That my silence should be for reflection.
7. That my gaze should be a source of learning and contemplation.

The Seventh Commandment: The Tongue — Always in the Remembrance of God

"And that my speech should be a remembrance."
That every word I utter should include the remembrance of Allah.

Message:
Whenever words come from the tongue, they should be in remembrance of God, promote goodness, or lead to reform.
Keeping the tongue pure from idle talk and backbiting is a hallmark of a true believer.

"And remember Allah much, that you may succeed."
(Surah Al-Anfal: 45)

The Seven Commandments in Summary:

1. Sincerity — in both private and public.
2. Forgiveness — even to the one who wrongs you.
3. Generosity — even to the one who withholds from you.
4. Maintaining relations — even with those who cut you off.
5. Speech — filled with God's remembrance.
6. Silence — used for reflection.
7. Gaze — to draw wisdom and lessons.
