THREE THINGS NOT TO BE DISCUSSED

The Hadeeth advises that we restrain our tongues from discussing three things:

a) Taqdeer – the human brain has a certain capacity and can only comprehend to a certain level. It is just like any other limb. You can see to a certain distance and not beyond. Thus, taqdeer is a subject that the human brain cannot comprehend. Therefore, do not discuss it.

b) Astrology – to make predictions of events via the stars. It is not something concrete and there is a greater chance of it being incorrect. Further, if it does turn out to be correct, then one’s belief will get affected, that it was on account of these stars that a certain event unfolded. Therefore, refrain from this as well.

c) Speaking ill of the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum). They may have had some weakness or the other, but their spirituality was so great that it had the strength to wipe out the weakness. They were far greater than the rest of the Ummat.
