In this culture, your word is your bond, and being a source of false information damages your 'Muru'a' (manliness/honor). In the Levant, there is a strong social tradition of 'Subhiye' (morning coffee gatherings) where gossip can spread. Religious or educated individuals often use this phrase to gently steer the conversation away from rumors. With the rapid adoption of technology, 'Majlis' culture has moved to WhatsApp. Government and religious authorities in the Gulf frequently use this phrase in public service announcements to combat digital rumors. In North Africa, the phrase is respected as a sign of high 'Adab' (etiquette). It is often taught in schools as part of the 'Tarbiya Islamiya' (Islamic education) curriculum to build character.
