Kuwait Stuttering Group

It might sound untrue that stammer could be a blessing, to someone like me who have been suffering from stammer for 23 years; but frankly it’s true and unfortunately I have realized it not in an early age.

Only one percent of the human population are known to be stammers. Out of those who carry the burden of being stammers only one in five are female; and I was chosen By Allah to be the lady who stammers. Why me? Is a question that many people who stammer would ask; Why me? Is either taken negatively or positively by noticing the objectives of this impediment?

The fact that people are not aware how graceful they are for the fluent tongue they have can lead them to assaulting it by the harmful uncensored words that can come out of their easy moving tongue; A stammer would think his words before uttering them and that is a blessing by it self

Allah said: “The believers must (eventually) win through, Those who humble themselves in their prayers; Who avoid vain talk”

Allah said: “Not a word does he utter but there is a sentinel by him, ready (to note it)“

“From Mu’adh bin Jabal, radiyallahu ‘anhu, who said: I said:

“O Messenger of Allah, tell me of a deed which will take me into Paradise and will keep me away from the Hell-fire.” He said: “You have asked me about a great matter, yet it is, indeed, an easy matter for him to whom Allah Almighty makes it easy. (It is ) that you worship Allah without associating anything with Him, that you perform the prayers, that you pay the zakat, that you fast during Ramadan, and that you make the pilgrimage to the House.”

Then he said: “Shall I not guide you to the gates of goodness? Fasting is a shield; charity extinguishes sin as water extinguishes fire; and a man’s prayer in the middle of the night.” Then he recited: “Who forsake their beds to cry unto their Lord in fear and hope, and spend of that We have bestowed on them. No soul knoweth what is kept hid for them of joy, as a reward for what they used to do”. [Qu’ran, Surah al-Sajdah (32): Ayah 16-17]

Then he said: “Shall I not also tell you of the peak of the matter, its pillar, and its topmost part?” I said: “Yes, O Messenger of Allah.” He said: “The peak of the matter is Islam (submission to Allah), the pillar is prayer; and its topmost part is jihad.” Then he said: “And shall I not tell you of the controlling of all that ?” I said:” Yes, O Messenger of Allah”. So he took hold of his tongue and said: “Restrain this.” I said: “O Prophet of Allah, will we be held accountable for what we say?” He said: “May your mother be bereft of you! Is there anything that topples people on their faces (or he said, on their noses) into the Hell-fire other than the jests of their tongues?”

[Related by Al-Tirmidhi, who said it was a fine and sound hadith]“

From the holy book (Quraan) and the instructions of our prophet Mohammad PBUH we know that talking has rules; and the main rule is censoring our words, to say what’s useful, fair and good and by stammering we have an automatic censor that others don’t have.

I have realized lately that my hardship with stammer is worth it.
