nothing about it and to make a mockery of it. Such
people will have a humiliating punishment. (Surah
Luqman; 6)

While indulging in worthless talk is a characteristic of
unbelievers, avoidance of it is a quality of believers:
[Believers are] those who do not bear false witness
and who, when they pass by worthless talk, pass by
with dignity. (Surat al-Furqan; 72)
When they hear worthless talk they turn away from
it and say, ‘We have our actions and you have your
actions. Peace be upon you. We do not desire the
company of the ignorant.’ (Surat al-Qasas; 55)
As is his usual practice, satan attempts to introduce this
habit of ignorance into the lives of believers, which is indeed
improper in terms of religious morals. To this end, he
employs seemingly legitimate excuses and seeks moments
when believers are not attentive. Therefore, one must always
be vigilant and not let himself be dragged into such conversa-

tions. On the contrary, he should intervene and remind the
people involved in such pastimes to remember Allah. A
believer must always avoid ignorance, unbecoming manners
and blameworthy speech. The absence in Paradise of any
offensive speech is described among its blessings:
Gardens of Eden which the All-Merciful has promised
to His servants in the Unseen. His promise is always
kept. They will not hear any prattling there -nothing
but ‘Peace.’ They will receive their provision there
morning and night. (Surah Maryam; 61-62)
