Lesson thirty :Speech and silence

Ali( A. S. )said:

لَا خَيْرَ فِى الصَّمْتِ عَنِ الْحُكْمِ كَما أنَّهُ لا خَيْرَ فِى القَوْلِ بالْجَهْلِ‌

Translation

Neither silence of a wise man, nor speech of an ignorant has any profit..

Brief description

God has made promise with those who are informed and learned not to remain silent against deviations, misbehaviors, injustices and unfairness and divisive actions of enemies and radiate the light of guidance, truth and justice on the hearts through their warm and reasonable logic and expression( and everybody is considered informed and responsible for what he knows, although it may be little ). On the other hand, those who do not have sufficient information, should not cause deviation of people through their improper interference. That silence and this speech both cause misfortune.
