The tongue, the language and the mind etc... are great gifts of Allah(SWT-Subhana Wa Ta'laa). These gifts that Allah has given to man makes him superior to all other creatures. Islam has given special attention to speech, its style, its etiquette and rules, because the talk that comes out from a man's mouth discloses his intellectual level and moral nature. Moreove, the etiquette of speech in a group reveals its general standard, and shows the standard of decency in their environment.
Truthful, clean and decent conversation impresses both friends and foes (enemies, rivals, opponents), and its sweet fruits can be readily enjoyed. It guards love between friends.
