Nation of Islam Brother Luqman Muhammad investigates whether, "each level of the Tone Scale with regards to Speech could be found in the Holy Qur’an." He concludes that, 'the different levels of the Tone Scale with regards to Speech, the condition of the world today, and the Truth of the Holy Qur’an are in harmony."

“Tone of their Speech…” – Part 2
Giving thanks and praise to Allah, the Source of All Inspiration and Guidance.
After reading in the Holy Qur’an 47:30 the thought came to mind with regards to the Tone Scale and Speech found in Science of Survival.
Surah 98:3 describes the Holy Qur’an is a book “…wherein are (all) right books.”
This would imply that whatever truth is found in any book, it is already located in the Holy Qur’an.
The idea was to see if each level of the Tone Scale with regards to Speech could be found in the Holy Qur’an.
On the Hubbard Chart of Human Evaluation and Dianetic Processing, under Communication – column K, the scale regarding speech can be found.
Tone 4.0 “Strong, able, swift and full exchange of beliefs and ideas.
“The highest level of the scale contains the faculty of communicating completely and withholding nothing, also the ability to communicate with complete rational selectivity, also the ability to be conversationally creative and constructive. At this high level of the scale, the individual is able to listen to everything which is said and evaluate it rationally. He can listen to entheta communications without becoming severely enturbulated. He can receive ideas without making critical or derogatory comments. And while receiving another person’s ideas, he can greatly aid that person’s thinking and talking.” Science of Survival, pg. 100
Not only does this describe the character of the Hon. Min. Louis Farrakhan but it also corresponds with Study Guide #18 titled “Rising Above Emotion into the Mind and Thinking of Allah(God).
What does this have to do with Allah and the characteristic of speech?
In the Religion of Islam, on page 163, it states…
“Kalam (speaking) is an attribute of the Divine Being.”
The Attributes, Al Kaleem or Mutakaleem, means One Who Speaks or One Who is the Best of Speakers.
Tone 3.5 “Will talk of deep-seated beliefs and ideas.”
The concept “deep-seated” also means to be “firmly established.”
“Allah confirms those who believe with the sure word in this world’s life and in the Hereafter…” HQ 14:27
The word “confirms, in Arabic, is Thabata, means to be firmly established, stable or fixed.
Tone 3.0 “Tentative expression of limited number of personal ideas.”
The word tentative means that which is not done with confidence. Done with uncertainty, hesitation or doubt.
“And if you are in doubt as to that which We have revealed to Our servant…” HQ 2:23
Tone 2.5 “Casual, pointless conversation”'
These terms are defined as "having no meaning or purpose, devoid of meaning".
In the Bible this type of speech is described as “profane and vain babblings.” 1 Timothy 6:21
“They will not fight against you in a body save in fortified towns or from behind walls. Their fighting between them is severe. Thou wouldst think them united, but their hearts are divided. That is because they are a people who have no sense.” HQ 59:14\
In Arabic the word is ya’qiluuna, which means reason. To have no sense also means to be mentally deranged, lacking understanding, demented, insane or mad.
Tone 2.0 “Talks in threats. Invalidates people”
“The devil threatens you with poverty and enjoins you to be niggardly, and Allah promises you forgiveness from Himself and abundance. And Allah is Ample-giving, Knowing.” HQ 2:269
Another version of the Holy Qur’an describes his actions as “Satan threatens you with poverty and enjoins upon you what is foul…”
The word “invalidate” can be found, contextually in Surah 5:91
“The devil desires only to create enmity and hatred among you by means of intoxicates and games of chance, and to keep you back from the remembrance of Allah and from prayer. Will you then keep back?”
That which is foul, also described as niggardliness, is fahshai.
The root word, fahusha, means to be obscene, excessive, foul, shameless, to use obscene language. Fahsha means abomination, adultery, fornication and whoredom.
Fahhas means to be obscene, lewd, shameless in speech or action.
Giving in to the indecency of this world is what may invalidate us in the eyes of Allah(God).
Tone 1.5 “Talks of death and destruction only.”
“So naught was the answer of his people except that they said: Slay him or burn him! But Allah delivered him from the fire. Surely therein are signs for a people who believer.” HQ 29:24
When individuals are constantly speaking of destruction they are showing their location on the Tone Scale.
Tone 1.1 “Talks in apparent theta but vicious intent. Lies”
“Those who took the calf (for a god) – wrath from their Lord, and disgrace in this world’s life, will surely overtake them. And thus do We recompense those who invent lies.” HQ 7:152
Tone 0.5 “Talks only in apathetic tones. Very little”
Apathetic, or apathy, means "showing no emotion, spiritless or indifferent."
“The 0.5 talks dolefully and hopelessly in terms of bad things which are happening and will happen and for which there is no remedy….He cannot be heartened or cheered up, but will slump immediately into his apathy. Here is hopelessness.” Science of Survival, pg. 104
“Man tires not for praying for good, but, if evil touches him, he is despairing, hopeless.” HQ 41:49
Despair and hopelessness are fayausun and qanutun.
Tone 0.1 “Does not talk.”
“At 0.1 we have an inability to talk and an individual who is completely unresponsive to conversation.” Science of Survival, pg. 104
“For those who respond to their Lord is good. And as for those who respond not to Him, even if they had all that is in the earth and the like thereof with it, they would certainly offer it for a ransom. As for those, theirs is an evil reckoning and their abode is hell; and evil is the resting-place.” HQ 13:18
As we can see, the different levels of the Tone Scale with regards to Speech, the condition of the world today, and the Truth of the Holy Qur’an are in harmony.
Peace Family!!!
