    📖 Commentary of Surah Al-Ahzab – Verse 70

    "O believers! Fear Allah and speak [195] the right word. (Kanzul Imaan Translation)"

    ✅ [195] Guarding the Tongue Is Central to Piety

    This verse teaches that true piety (taqwa) includes not only fear of Allah but also the discipline of speech.

    Mentioning truthful and righteous speech immediately after commanding fear of Allah shows that controlling the tongue is critically important—so much so that it could have been understood as part of piety, but Allah emphasized it separately to highlight its weight.

    Guarding the tongue from lies, backbiting, slander, abusive language, and tale-bearing is the foundation of all virtues.

    Unlike other body parts, where a disease may affect two limbs, the tongue is a single organ, yet its potential for harm is vast. It is enclosed by the lips and teeth, reminding us that it should remain restrained and carefully guarded.

    The message is clear: uncontrolled speech can destroy one’s righteousness, while a truthful tongue is a sign of true fear of Allah.

    Ibn-Kathir

    70. O you who believe! Have Taqwa of Allah and speak (always) the truth. 71. He will direct you to do righteous good deeds and will forgive you your sins. And whosoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, he has indeed achieved a great victory.

    The Command to the Believers to have Taqwa and speak the Truth

    Here Allah commands His servants to have Taqwa of Him, worshipping Him as if they can see Him, and to

    ﴿قَوْلاً سَدِيداً﴾

    (speak (always) the truth.) meaning, to speak in a straightforward manner, with no crookedness or distortion. He promises them that if they do that, He will reward them by making their deeds righteous, i.e., enabling them to do righteous deeds, and He will forgive them their past sins. With regard to whatever sins they may commit in the future, He will inspire them to repent from them. Then He says:

    ﴿وَمَن يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ فَازَ فَوْزاً عَظِيماً﴾

    (And whosoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, he has indeed achieved a great victory.) meaning, he will be saved from the fire of Hell and will enjoy everlasting delights (in Paradise).
