Speak Less

Aisyah said, "The Prophet Muhammad talked about everything important, but his words were so few, you could count them."

He didn’t talk a lot. He chose his words carefully. He was quiet most of the time.

Speaking less can mean your heart is full of awareness. It shows respect, thoughtfulness, and sometimes even love or fear of God.

(from Syajaratul Ma‘arif, Syaikh al-‘Izz bin Abdus Salam)
