LETS STRIVE TO BE TRUTHFUL AND FOLLOW THOSE WHO PRACTICE TRUTHFULNESS
ALMIGHTY ALLAH says in Qur'an 9:119
ÙŠَٰٓØ£َÙŠُّÙ‡َا ٱلَّØ°ِينَ Ø¡َامَÙ†ُواْ ٱتَّÙ‚ُواْ ٱللَّÙ‡َ ÙˆَÙƒُونُواْ Ù…َعَ ٱلصَّٰدِÙ‚ِينَ
O you who have believed, fear ALLAH and be with those who are true. The Ayah says, adhere to and always say the truth so that you become among its people and be saved from destruction. ALLAH will make a way for you out of your concerns and a refuge.
Imam Ahmad recorded that Abdullah bin Mas`ud said that the Messenger of ALLAH said, Hold on to truth, for being truthful leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. Verily, a man will keep saying the truth and striving for truth, until he is written before ALLAH as very truthful (AS-Siddiiq).
Beware of lying, for lying leads to sin, and sin leads to the Fire. Verily, the man will keep lying and striving for falsehood until he is written before ALLAH as a great liar. This Hadith is recorded in both Bukhari and Muslim.
And what is forbidden as regards telling of lies. Narrated 'Abdullah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: The Prophet (ï·º) said, "Truthfulness leads to Al-Birr (righteousness) and Al-Birr (righteousness) leads to Paradise. And a man keeps on telling the truth until he becomes a truthful person. Falsehood leads to Al-Fujur (i.e. wickedness - evildoing), and Al-Fujur leads to the (Hell) Fire. And a man keeps on telling lies until he is written as a liar before ALLAH." Sahih Al-Bukhari, 8/6094.
May ALLAH keeps guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences into lying and following personal and religious liars. Aameen.
