For God’s Sake Hold Thy Tongue 8th English Questions and Answers 

 Q1. What do the Quran and the traditions of Prophet (PBUH) tell us on backbiting and scandal mongering? 

Ans;- The Quran states that backbiting and scandal-mongering of any form are to be avoided. 

A person who backbite is like a man who has devoured the flesh of his deceased brother,

 according to the prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Q2. What do the Gita and the Bible tell us on backbiting? 

Ans;- According to the Gita, those who are born with god-like endowments are free from fear, 

have a pure heart, persevere in their (pursuit of) knowledge, are free from the habit of 

backbiting, have compassion for all beings, and are free from avarice. He who is born 

into demoniac endowments is prone to ostentation and vanity. According to the Bible, 

we all make many mistakes. And if somebody does not trip over his words, he is a 

flawless man who can control his entire body. 

Q3. What do the Granth sahib and Lord Buddha tell us on backbiting? 

Ans;- According to the Guru Granth Sahib, a person who slanders another bears a heavy 

load of sins without receiving compensation. According to Lord Buddha's Eightfold 

Path, one must live a life centred around speaking the truth.

  
Q4. Why did the servant of Rabbi Simeon bring tongues both the times? 

Ans;- Because the servant of Rabbi Simeon believed that the tongue might both speak evil 

and good, he brought tongues both times. Nothing is worse than a wicked tongue, and 

nothing is better than a good one. 

Q5. Why did Rabbi Simeon invite his disciples for a meal? 

Ans;- In an attempt to show his disciples the good and bad things that the tongue is capable of, Rabbi Simeon invited them to a lunch. 

Q6. What according to you is the moral of the lesson?

 Ans;- The lesson's lesson is that we should avoid backbiting and stoking controversy because

 tongue injuries are the most difficult to heal. We ought to approach people with grace 

and humility at all times. 

Q7. How does our tongue do good or bad to others? 

Ans;- Being courteous with our words can make people happy and put a smile on their cheeks. A tongue can bring joy to the depressed, but it can also have terrible effects. The other person may be so severely wounded by our inconsiderate words that he may never forget them. We leave an unsightly scar on people's hearts that prickles constantly when we speak poorly of and criticise them. It's been noted many times that the tongue has both healing and hurting powers. Thus, exercise caution when speaking since it may have an  impact on many lives, including your own.
