Moral Education
Among the first marks of successful believers: they turn away from laghw — speech and noise that lead nowhere.
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنِ اللَّغْوِ مُعْرِضُونَ
“And those who turn away from idle talk.”
“এবং যারা অনর্থক কথা ও কাজ থেকে বিমুখ থাকে।”
The moral, reflection, and application sections below are educational guidance inspired by the cited verse — they are not a translation or an authoritative tafsir.
Guard your words and your attention — what you engage with shapes what you become.
Idle talk once meant market gossip; today it is an industry engineered to hold your eyes for hours. Every minute of laghw is paid for from the same account as your prayers, your family, and your growth.
This trait appears second in the Qur'an's portrait of successful believers, straight after humility in prayer — as if guarding the tongue and the attention were the first defence of a devoted heart. The verb is active: they turn away. Laghw comes to everyone; the believer simply declines the invitation.
Identify your main channel of laghw — a group chat, a feed, a circle of gossip — and mute or exit one of them today. Replace the freed minutes with anything that will still matter in a year.
If your screen time report were read aloud in front of people you respect, which number would embarrass you?
Leave or mute one source of pointless noise today — one tap, permanent benefit.
