Ayah: 19

وَٱقۡصِدۡ فِي مَشۡيِكَ وَٱغۡضُضۡ مِن صَوۡتِكَۚ إِنَّ أَنكَرَ ٱلۡأَصۡوَٰتِ لَصَوۡتُ ٱلۡحَمِيرِ

19. Be moderate in your pace, and lower your voice10. For the most detestable of voices is the braying of donkeys.

10. By following the Qur’an and the way of Prophet Muhammad – anyone can become more disciplined and reap the rewards. Discipline can be defined as self-control over one’s actions and behaviors. Unlike punishment, imposed externally, discipline is self-directed and largely internal. It requires responsibility for your conduct and outcomes rather than blaming external factors. Cultivating discipline is thus an exercise in accountability and choice.
