AVOIDANCE OF NONSENSE IS A CONDITION TO SUCCESS

For you to succeed in this life and hereafter, you need to avoid irrelevant and nonsensical things. The Qur’an has mentioned it in between two essential duties of Muslims, which gives and idea of its importance. 

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿١﴾ الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ خَاشِعُونَ ﴿٢﴾ وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنِ اللَّغْوِ مُعْرِضُونَ

Successful indeed are the believers who are humble in their prayers, and who shun vain conversation and who are payers of Zakaat. 

Q 23 : 1-3

If all the men of the world count their
efforts which they make in indulging in vain conversation and acts, they will come to realize that a very large part of the long-winding tales and stories, widely circulated news, narratives, speeches and broadcasts comprises of vain, meaningless and useless things, which are eagerly watched, and heard, but no beneit is derived from them.

Islam has expressed its disapproval of the meaningless talks and things because the superficial and useless things have no value in its eyes. It dislikes that man should not busy himself in matters for which he has been created and instead he should waste his life in involving himself in other irrelevant matters.

The more distant a Muslim will be from an absurd and irrelevant thing, the more high will be his rank before Allah.

A vain talker, on account of the weak co-ordination between his thought and his tongue, blurts out whatever comes on his tongue. sometimes he says something which places him in danger, and he ruins his future, it is said that the more one talks, the more one commits mistakes. An Arabic poet has said:

the youth dies by the fault of his tongue whereas from the faltering of the feet death does not occur.

In the Sunnah, it is stated:

A man says something so that those present may laugh, although on account of it he is thrown to the most distant region between the earth and the sky. The faltering of the feet cause much less harm than the faltering of the tongue. Baihaaqi
