Conversation is the main way people express themselves, but careless words can leave lasting wounds. Islam therefore stresses restraint, courtesy and truthfulness in speech.
In a hadith in Sahih al-Bukhari the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should speak good or keep silent. Spoken words are compared to a fired bullet that cannot be called back, and the piece says the same principle applies to writing on social media.
Whether written or spoken, the responsibility for a statement lies with the speaker. A wrong word should be followed at once by an apology, and the ability to speak well and graciously makes a person welcome in society.
Courtesy to elders is a basic duty. They carry a lifetime of experience; listening to them attentively and speaking to them softly is a mark of good manners.
