Using Bad Language

An increasing problem that can be seen in the society today is the use of bad language. Somehow it has become so common that it baffles the mind. You can see little children use all the swear words possible without a thought as to the effect it might have on the soul. People who would normally have a very polite and sweet speech on a slight provocation start using all the bad words. Examples of this could be seen on roads in traffic jams, jokes between friends, cursing enemies or people one is in conflict with!

Can anyone tell me how it justifies using bad language while even cursing enemies...is this what the Holy Prophet(pbuh) and his Ahlul Bayt(s.a) taught us?There are many other ways to show displeasure or anger which can be seen from the lives of Holy Prophet(pbuh) and his Ahlul Bayt(s.a).

How can we use such words and then utter holy names, stand in front of Allah(swt) and recite words of Holy Quran from the same tongue?! Please Ponder upon this and whenever an urge occurs to use such words, think what Imam-e-Zamana(ajtf) would be feeling? Would you use the same language if he were sitting in your company?!

1ـ رسولُ اللهِِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): ما كانَ الفُحشُ في شيءٍ قَطُّ إلّا شانَهُ، ولا كانَ الحَياءُ في شيءٍ قَطُّ إلّا زانَهُ.

6– Imam al-Baqir (a) said, ‘Say unto people the best of what you would like them to say to you, for Allah hates the curser, swearer, and slanderer of believers, the user of obscene language and to do it shamelessly, and the importunate beggar.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 78, p. 181, no. 67]
