On the side note first one of the coolest things I studied today was the meaning of the word Lisan

So I can't help myself but share that with you

Lisan is the Arabic word for tongue also the Arabic word for language one of the words in Arabic for language

But its origin is very interesting

The word Lisan comes from the word Milsen

Milsen is a trap that they used to build on top of a door with a giant rock on top and they're hoping that a coyote or a lion

Or whatever else they put some meat on the door it'll come it'll be drawn towards the the meat when it starts eating the meat

It pulls on the rock falls on them killing the animal. That's how they used to set a trap for the animal

Okay, this is actually called a Milsen and the reason it's called a Milsen is in the origin of the word Lisan is the idea of drawing somebody in for the kill

In other words language at its essence is supposed to be a means of conquering people with words

To trap them with words to captivate them

It is as though the Arabs recognize that the most powerful language or the most powerful weapon at the disposal at the disposal of a human being is actually language

If you realize that then you realize that Allah is the one that gave us the most powerful weapon there is his own word

What can attract humanity more than the word of Allah itself than Lisan of the Quran itself be Lisan in Arabic and Mubin

So languages to be used carefully to draw people in and killing doesn't mean destroying people here

It actually means to conquer people to take over the hearts and minds of people with good words

Because you know like the Arab says and Nasir Abidul Al-San people are enslaved to goodness a good kind word can actually own

You can own somebody's heart with a good kind word you could do that and so that's kind of a side note on the meanings of the word

But now let's go back when Allah says didn't we furnish them two eyes?

What's the purpose of saying two eyes?

It's not just generically Allah has given us the gift of two eyes
