AB  - Tongue is a wonderful gift from the Almighty. It is very small in size but it creates so much havoc
between human. It can cause damage more than any other organs of the body. Thus, it is important for us to
know that the Almighty has created the tongue so beautifully when he has put 32 sharp guards which are teeth
around that tongue to make sure we think many times before we utter words. Tongue reflects what is in the
heart. If the heart is pure, then we can see a Muslim will only speak good things. But, if the heart corrupts, the
words that come out from the tongue are bad. Refraining from damaging words includes anyone. Even some
preachers are uttering bad words when giving their lecture in front of society. This is relatively negative
practice that we should restrain ourselves from. Also from becoming a norm in our society. However, this refrain
can only be achieved if a Muslim has a good understanding towards the importance of restraining the tongue
as the Almighty has mentioned in His Book. The objective of this study is to identify the understanding among
students toward the importance of restraining the tongue in accordance with the Quran. In order to carry out
this study, the research is conducted by using documentation and questionnaire methods. Questionnaires are
distributed among students of Quranic and Sunnah studies (QS) in Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM) to
collect data about their understanding of restraining the tongue in daily life. The preliminary results show that
the students have lack of understanding of it. Thus, it leads to the misuse of tongue among them. The worst
case scenario, it may influence their speech in everyday life and in the future. In conclusion having a good
understanding of the importance of restraining the tongue is very crucial as it reflects to the purity of heart and
behavior. Some recommendations on guarding the tongue will be also presented in this study.
