Wisdom

The companion of the Prophet, Umar ibn al-Khattab, said, “Kill falsehood by remaining silent about it.” (Hilyatul Awliya, Vol. 1, p. 55) This statement shows the power of silence.

There is a well-known saying that it takes two hands to clap. If you retaliate falsehood with falsehood, it will gain more support. On the contrary, if you adopt the method of silence, the falsehood will vanish on its own. If you refrain from retaliation, the forces of nature will mobilize in your support. They will accomplish your job better than you.
