Abstract
This study aims to examine the concept of managing the tongue in Islam through a faith-based and educational lens grounded in the principles and higher objectives of Islamic law. It connects scriptural texts with contemporary realities and explores the seriousness and significance of the tongue, highlighting its spiritual, psychological, and social consequences. The analysis draws upon the Qur’an, the Prophetic Sunnah, and the insights of classical and contemporary scholars. The study was motivated by the observable neglect of proper tongue conduct in modern contexts influenced by materialistic Western culture, which often fails to accord speech the importance it holds in Islamic teachings. In response, the research proposes an educational model consisting of two integrated levels: 1. The Preventive Level, which focuses on restraining the tongue from falsehood, idle talk, backbiting, etc. 2. The Constructive Level, which emphasizes guiding the tongue toward faith-based speech that leads to righteous actions and generates benefit for the individual and all other creatures. These two levels are examined across three dimensions: the individual’s relationship with Allah, with the self, and with other created beings.
