حُسْنُ الْقَوْلِ
This verse teaches us to choose our words carefully.
وَقُل لِّعِبَادِي يَقُولُواْ ٱلَّتِي هِيَ أَحۡسَنُۚ
And tell My servants to say that which is best.
Quran, Al-Isra 17:53
In this verse, Allah asks His servants to say 'that which is best.' The Arabic comparative 'ahsan' draws attention to a choice: among possible wordings, the believer is invited to seek the best one. The command directly concerns speech, without promising a particular effect here. The rest of the verse names a danger: Satan stirs discord among people and is a declared enemy to the human being. The text thus places the command to say what is best beside this warning. Qalima's synthesis is to take care with a reply before speaking it.
Today, before one delicate reply, take a minute to rephrase it so that it better matches 'that which is best.'
