THE PROPER USAGE OF WORDS 101:
What's in a word? This is a very intelligent question that must never be ignored in communication, because of the fact that a word is the sound or vocalization of a thought or idea...
What's in a word? This is a very intelligent question that must never be ignored in communication, because of the fact that a word is the sound or vocalization of a thought or idea...
...Spoken words are as musical notes that affect mood, thought, and a degree of the listener's psychic comprehension. This may be why many people would say that it's not what you say, but how you say it, that affects them one way or another.
In my study and reflection of the Nation of Islam's English Lesson C1, point #4 says "my uncle cannot talk his own language".
If we take a moment to reflect on the language we are all speaking today, all the way to reports we hear on news networks, news media, teachers, preachers, parents, children, and ourselves, who is speaking the truth??
And please keep in mind, truth is evidence. Who is speaking with evidence to back up or support what we all are saying? We are all in an age appropriately called 'MISINFORMATION'. A few tweets ago, I referred to our current language or mode of communication as 'babble'...
It's so easy to misunderstand each other and misconstrue what each other is saying, and even what comes out of our own mouths. But that's not where it starts. Miscommunication, can be said to start in the brain, but in truth, it originates in the disposition of the human heart..
Once, a question was raised to the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad: what was before thought? And the answer given was: The Will.
"...They say with their mouths what is not in their hearts. And Allah best knows what they conceal." (HQ 3:166) With this quote from the Holy Quran, we can now begin to understand how we got into this age of misinformation...
People are constantly babbling words into the atmosphere, creating confusion in the mind of all that can hear. Remember, confusion speaks to a disorder of the mind and its thinking. This mental illness is also PANDEMIC!
"What are you saying?" and "what do you mean?" are two questions that should be intellectually raised every time we are speaking with one another. When we are at a point and time of universal change, confusion is a key symptom characteristic of that time period.
Here is an antidote or prescription for us to follow in a time of universal change when you believe in the One GOD... be still, and be quiet! If anyone would ask 'Why?', answer "because GOD is at work"!
Once again, I love the following words from my Christian family: "let go and let GOD". It is GOD today that is separating, as the Bible puts it, "the wheat from the tare", and as the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan teaches, it is GOD who's at work today.
"Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast." (Isaiah 26:20)
To my dear fellow students on Twitter, I'm going to end this long thread (smile) with 3 verses from the Holy Quran, that you might find helpful, in understanding how GOD Judges, and the disposition we all must have in our hearts and deeds to be saved:
"God will not call you to account for what is vain in your oaths, but He will call you to account for what your hearts have earned. And God is Forgiving, Forbearing." (HQ 2:225)
"And Allah judges with truth. And those whom they call upon besides Him judge naught! Surely Allah is the Hearing, the Seeing" (HQ 40:20)
"Those who believe and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allah. Now surely in Allah's remembrance do hearts find rest." (HQ 13:28)
...To be continued.
