Not Permissible to Stop Talking for More than Three Days

The Quran states, “You may think of something offensive but that is good for you, while you may like something but that may be bad for you.” (2:216) This verse deals with all matters of life. People usually look at things in terms of appearances; they start liking something because of outward attractiveness and reject what is not attractive in terms of appearance. But in reality, this is not the right way of judging things. It often happens that something does not look good in appearance, but in reality, it is beneficial for man. On the contrary, something might appear to be good, but its result will not be good. A man should not judge things by superficial appearances, but he should look at things in terms of deeper realities and judge accordingly. 100. A Prayer A Prayer of the Prophet of Islam is as follows, “O God, show me the truth in the form of truth and help me to follow it, and show me the falsehood in the form of falsehood and help me to avoid it, and show me things as they are.” (Sharh alMuntaha al-Iradat, Vol. 3, p. 497) The most important thing in today's world is to possess objective thinking. This is taught in this tradition in the form of a prayer. In today's world, man lives in such a situation that he often sees the truth in the form of falsehood and falsehood in the form of truth. In this prayer, one is asking his Lord to save him from this error. In response to his prayer, God may bless him with the insight that allows him to see things as they are. Right thinking leads to the right action, and the right action always leads to success.
